Machine calf raise
Shoulders under the pads, balls of the feet on the step, knees soft and quiet, heels free to drop.
- 1Drop the heels for a full stretch. The knees don't bounce.
- 2Rise as high as the ankles allow and pause.
- 3Lower slowly. The movement is only at the ankle.
Easy to miss: Bending and straightening the knees to help the calves.
