SINGLE LEG CALF RAISES

This exercise is an advanced version of the conventional CALF RAISE. Stand on the edge of a stair step, stepper or stack of large weight plates with your forefoot and raise the heels as high as possible. Keep an even distribution of weight throughout the balls of each toe and pay attention to your heel position (it should remain in your foot’s midline). Lower the heel to the maximum depth you can reach without raising the toes up and off the stepper.
