How to perform

Sit on the sled, back against the backrest, feet shoulder-width apart on the platform. Only the balls of your feet should be on the platform, heels hanging off. Unlock the safety, extend legs fully (no knee lockout). Slowly lower heels to stretch calves. Press through the balls of your feet to raise heels, contracting your calves. Hold briefly, then slowly lower. Repeat.

Tips

Control the pace for maximum muscle engagement. Achieve full range of motion – lower heels fully, raise them high. Avoid bouncing; use slow, deliberate movements. Engage your core for stability. Adjust weight to maintain proper form. Exhale on the raise, inhale on the lower.
