How to do it
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand and stand with the balls of your feet on a sturdy step, heels off the edge.
- Keep your body tall and your knees straight but not locked.
- Lower your heels below the step until you feel a stretch in your calves.
- Push up onto the balls of your feet as high as you can, then lower slowly without bouncing.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
