Wall Sit With Calf Raise

Starting Position

• stand with the back against the wall, make one step forward
• the feet are hip width apart and slightly turned outwards
• lean against the wall now (your body is in a diagonal line)
• you can let the arms hang down

Correct Execution

• slip down at the wall until your thighs are parallel to the ground (the knees are bent to 90 degrees)
• hold this position
• now raise the heels, only the balls of the feet touch the ground anymore
• you can lower and raise the heels again or do it isometrically by keeping the heels up for a while
• do this for a longer period of time, pause shortly and go on to the next rep
