How to do it
- Stand with the balls of your feet on the edge of the platform, heels hanging off, and hold the handles.
- Hinge forward at your hips with a flat back and get under the pad so it rests on your hips or lower back.
- Keep your knees straight but not locked and lower your heels slowly until you feel a deep stretch in your calves.
- Rise as high as you can onto the balls of your feet, pause briefly, and avoid bouncing at the bottom.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
