Single-Leg Calf Strengthening on Step

Description

You are standing, with the front of the foot to be worked placed on a step (or a stair), while the heel and the other foot are in the air. Your body weight is placed backwards, at the heel, so that the foot is in a dorsiflexion position, which may cause a sensation of calf stretching. You will perform an ankle extension by rising onto the tip of your toes and then slowly return to the starting position.
