How to perform

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Position the balls of your feet on a raised platform, allowing heels to hang off. Engage your core and keep your back straight. Raise your heels by extending your ankles, contracting your calves. Pause, then slowly lower heels below the platform. Repeat.

Tips

Maintain control throughout the movement. Use a full range of motion, extending and contracting your calves fully. Keep knees slightly bent for balance. Choose a weight that allows for proper form. Inhale on the lower, exhale on the raise.
