How to do it

  3. Lower your heels for a stretch at the bottom.
  4. Drive up onto your toes as high as you can.
  5. Squeeze the calves at the top, then lower slowly.

The one cue that matters

⚡

Use the straps only for balance, let your calves do the lifting through a full range.

Muscles worked
