How to do it
- Step under the shoulder pads and place the ball of one foot on the edge of the platform, heel hanging off.
- Tuck your other foot behind your working ankle and keep your standing knee straight but not locked.
- Lower your heel slowly into a full stretch, then rise as high as you can onto the ball of your foot.
- Pause briefly at the top, avoid bouncing at the bottom, and switch legs once that side is done.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
