Gas Pedals

GAS PEDALS

Take a seat and loop a band around the foot. Hold the band with both arms to tense it to provide resistance to the foot. Keep both arms low so that the band remains parallel to the legs during this exercise. This will help to prevent the band from slipping off your foot during the exercise. Extend the knee so that it is straight in front of you and plantarflex the foot to engage your calf muscles. You can also do this on the floor with the calf supported by the floor.
