Band Calf Raises
How to do it
- Stand on the middle of a band with the balls of your feet, or sit and loop it over your toes.
- Hold the ends at hip height to create tension.
- Push up onto your toes against the band.
- Lower slowly to a full stretch.
- Bands are light for calves - go for high reps and a hard squeeze rather than load.
