Alternating Single-Leg Isometric Heel Raise

Description

Position yourself under the Smith machine with the bar resting on your shoulders. Place a support under the balls of your feet so that your heels hang in the air. Rise onto your toes, then shift your entire body weight onto the forefoot of one foot and hold the position for three to five seconds. Then shift your weight to the other side, keeping your knees straight at all times. When you are finished, lower the bar in a controlled manner before coming back down.
