Description

You are standing, with the front of your feet placed on a step (or a staircase step), while the heels are hanging in the air. The weight of your body is positioned backward, on your heels, so they descend below the step, creating a stretching sensation in your calves. You will perform an ankle extension by rising onto the tips of your toes and then slowly return to the starting position.
