How to perform

Adjust the machine to fit your height. Sit with a straight back, feet on the platform, toes forward. Position knees under the lever, slightly bent. Grip handles for stability. Press through your feet to lift heels as high as possible, contracting your calves. Pause briefly at the top. Slowly lower heels to the starting position. Repeat.

Tips

Maintain a slight bend in your knees. Use a full range of motion. Control the descent. Engage your core. Adjust resistance as needed. Perform slow, deliberate movements.
