Bodyweight Calf Raise

How to do it

1. Stand with the balls of your feet on the edge of a step and your heels hanging off. Hold a wall or rail for balance.

2. Let your heels drop below the step until you feel a stretch in your calves.

3. Press up onto your toes as high as you can and hold the top for a second.

4. Lower slowly. Calves respond to the stretch, so the slow bottom half matters more than the number of reps.
