Bodyweight Standing Calf Raise Exercise Video

Exercise Instructions:

For this exercise all you need is a block or step and something to help keep your balance. Stand with the balls of your feet on the edge of the step/block and let you heels drop down as far as possible. This is the starting position for the movement. Slowly raise your heels up as high as possible. Pause, then slowly lower your heels back to the starting position. Do not rest at the bottom, immediately start the next rep. Repeat fro desired reps.

Tips & Advice:

Use the maxim rep range by letting the heels drop as far as possible and raise as high as possible. Pause and squeeze for a count of 1-2 at the top of the movement for added intensity. Don't "rest" at the bottom of the movement by pausing. Once your heels are down as far as they go, start the next rep. Keep the balls of your feet on the edge of the block/step. If you allow the balls of your feet to come in more the exercise becomes easier.
