What It Is
Strengthens your calves, the muscles that push you off the ground with every step. It also helps your balance and ankles.
How to Do It
Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, lightly holding a wall or chair for balance. Rise up onto the balls of your feet as high as you can. Pause, then lower your heels slowly to the floor.
Skill Level
Novice. Everyday movements on a stable base. Safe to learn on day one.
Type
Strength. Builds muscle and strength with controlled, resisted movement.
Engagement
Bilateral. Each rep works both sides of the body at once.
