- hold your back straight
- you can hold your hands at your hips
Correct Execution
- lift your heels as high as you can
- avoid swinging the hip
- hold the position for a moment
- the tiptoes do not move
- go back to the starting position slowly and repeat several times
tips for the workout
- put a plank under the balls of your feet to increase the range of the motion
- by doing that, you can increase the difficulty a bit, this makes the calf workout even more effective
- you can also hold weights in your hands or put on a filled backpack to increase the resistance for the feet
