Standing Calf Raise (On a staircase)
Expert Advice
Keep your core engaged and avoid using momentum to lift your heels. Focus on a slow, controlled movement to maximize calf muscle engagement.
How-to-do Steps
- Stand on the edge of a staircase with your toes on the step and heels hanging off.
- Hold onto the railing for balance if needed.
- Slowly raise your heels as high as possible, squeezing your calf muscles at the top of the movement.
- Lower your heels back down below the level of the step to get a full stretch in your calves.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
