Single-Leg Calf Raises

How to do it

1. Stand on one foot with the ball of that foot on a step, holding something for balance.
2. Let the heel drop into a full stretch.
3. Push up onto your toes as high as you can.
4. Lower slowly, then switch legs.
5. One leg at a time is how you load calves properly without any equipment.
