Elevated Calf Raise

step by step guide:

  1. Find a step, ledge, textbook, or other elevated surface.

  2. Place the balls of your foot on the ledge and keep your heels on the ground.

  3. Push up onto your toes as high as you can, hold for a second, and then lower back down.

Helpful cues:

  1. Place your hands on a wall, a post, a chair, or something else in order to support your balance.

Common Mistakes:

  1. Using your hands to push yourself up rather than just using them as support.

  2. Swinging your body forwards and backwards rather than keeping everything stationary. Only move at the ankle during this exercise.
