What It Is
A simple rise onto your toes that builds stronger lower legs and steadier balance, and it works almost anywhere.
How to Do It
Stand tall with a dumbbell in each hand at your sides, feet hip-width apart. Rise onto the balls of your feet as high as you can. Pause for a second, 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.
