How to do it
Stand on a step platform with your heels hanging off the edge, holding a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Position your feet hip-width apart.
Slowly raise your heels as high as possible by pushing through your forefeet, lifting your body upward.
Hold the top position for a brief moment, feeling the contraction in your calf muscles.
Lower your heels below the edge of the step, feeling a stretch in your calves. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Form tips
Ensure the step or platform is stable and secure before starting the exercise.
Keep your movements slow and controlled to maximize muscle engagement.
Avoid bouncing at the top or bottom of the movement.
