How to perform

Keep legs straight, heels planted. Lift toes and balls of feet as high as possible, squeezing your shin muscles. Lower with control. Repeat.

Tips

Maintain firm contact between your heels and the floor throughout the exercise to ensure stability and engage the correct muscles. Focus on lifting your toes and the balls of your feet as high as you can towards your shins, creating a strong contraction in your shin muscles. Keep your legs straight throughout the movement to isolate the shin muscles and prevent any unnecessary strain on your knees or hips. Lower your feet back to the starting position with a controlled motion, resisting the pull of gravity to maximize muscle engagement and prevent injury.
