Seated Calf Raise

How to do it

1. Sit on the machine with the balls of your feet on the platform and the pad snug on your thighs just above your knees.
2. Lift your heels slightly and release the safety lever.
3. Lower your heels slowly as far as you comfortably can to stretch your calves, and pause there briefly instead of bouncing.
4. Push through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as you can, pause briefly, then lower under control.
5. Re-engage the safety lever before you slide out of the machine.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
