How to perform

Sit on a bench, feet flat, knees bent. Place a dumbbell on your right knee. Elevate the ball of your right foot on a step, allowing your heel to hang. Keep your left foot stable on the floor. Raise your right heel, contracting your calf. Pause at the top. Lower your heel fully, stretching the calf. Repeat, then switch legs.

Tips

Isolate ankle movement; stabilize knees and hips. Utilize a full range of motion. Maintain a controlled pace. Choose a challenging but manageable weight. Engage your core. Exhale on heel raise, inhale on lowering.
