Single-Leg Calf Raise

How to

Bodyweight
  1. 1 Stand on one foot on a step edge.
  2. 2 Rise onto the toes, pause at the top.
  3. 3 Lower slowly below the step.

Tips

  • Hold a rail for balance so the calf does the work, not the balance.
  • Hold a dumbbell in the free hand when bodyweight gets easy.
  • Start with the weaker calf.

Common mistakes

  • Bending the knee to help.
  • Cutting the stretch at the bottom.
  • Going fast and bouncing.
