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

  1. Stand on one leg, with the toes of that foot on a raised surface (like a block or step) and the heel hanging off.
  2. Hold a dumbbell in one hand for balance and place the other hand on a support for stability.
  3. Raise your heel as high as possible by pushing through the ball of your foot.
  4. Lower your heel below the level of the step to get a full stretch in the calf muscle.
  5. Perform the desired number of repetitions before switching to the other leg.
