How do you perform Calf Raise?
- Stand up straight with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- To make the exercise more difficult, you can stand with the front of your feet on an elevation (for example, a step).
- Keep your hands next to your body or on your hips.
- Supporting your hands against a table, chair, or wall can help you keep your balance.
- Lift your heels and press your toes as high as you can.
- Hold that tension in your calves for a moment and then lower.
Common faults
- Lifting the shoulders.
- Overstretching the knees.
- Performing the exercise with too much speed.
- Poor balance and stepping forward during movement.
