One move
Calf Raises
Strength
Lower body
How to read ahead. Do to go one move at a time.
Stand tall and rise up onto your toes, hold for a moment at the top, then lower back down with control.
Option. Both feet first. Hold a wall if balance feels unsure. Light bells or single-leg only when the double-leg raise already feels quiet.
Stop if. The Achilles pinches or the ankle wobbles out of control.
