Step Standing Calf Raises


Purpose: Works the calf muscle through a great range to further increase strength.  One of my favourite calf exercises

How To Do Step Standing Calf Raises

Starting Position: Stand with your heels hanging off a step, holding onto something for balance e.g. wall or banister

Action: Let your heels drop down as far as feels comfortable and then push up onto your tip toes. Hold for 3 seconds and then drop back down as low as you can

Repetition: Repeat 10-25 times

Notes: Make sure you are taking your weight evenly through both feet.  You may feel a stretch in your calf as you let your heels drop down – that is fine. You are just having a bit of a stretch as well as strengthening the muscles
