How to do it
Sit on the leg press machine and position your feet shoulder-width apart on the higher portion of the footplate with your toes pointing up.
Press the footplate by extending your legs and keeping a slight bend in your knees.
Push through your forefeet to raise the footplate as much as possible, squeezing your calf muscles.
Slowly lower your forefeet down to the starting position. Repeat for the desired repetitions.
Form tips
Keep your legs slightly bent throughout the exercise to avoid placing stress on your knees.
Focus on a full range of motion, pushing your forefeet as much as possible for deep muscle activation.
Exhale as you raise your heels and inhale as you lower them back down.
