Calf raises

The calf raise targets the calves by rising onto the toes.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, on the floor or with the balls of your feet on a step. Hold onto a support for balance.

Rise onto your toes as high as possible, hold for a second, then lower slowly, below the level of the step if you are using one.

Keep your knees straight without locking them, and do not bounce at the bottom.
