How To Do Toe Pointing Against Resistance
Starting Position: Either lying on the bed or sitting in a chair with your legs out straight. Wrap a resistance band such as theraband around the ball of your foot and hold onto the end. Take up the slack in the band
Action: Push your foot downwards against the band so you are pointing your toes as far down as you can. Hold for 3 seconds and slowly let your foot come back up
Repetition: Repeat 10-20 times
Variations: You can vary the resistance in 2 ways
1) The more tightly you pull the band to increase the tension, the harder the calf muscles will have to work
2) You can choose from a range of bands at different resistances. The higher the resistance, the harder the calf workout will be
