Dumbbell One Leg Calf Raise
Expert Advice
Press through the ball of your foot and avoid bouncing at the bottom to maximize calf muscle engagement.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand on one leg, with the toes of that foot on a raised surface (like a block or step) and the heel hanging off.
- Hold a dumbbell in one hand for balance and place the other hand on a support for stability.
- Raise your heel as high as possible by pushing through the ball of your foot.
- Lower your heel below the level of the step to get a full stretch in the calf muscle.
- Perform the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.
