Calf Raises - Body Weight

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and facing forwards.

Now go up on your tip-toes in a nice slow controlled manner, once you are as high as you can go, slowly lower yourself back down again.

Just before your heels touch the ground go back up onto your tip-toes.


Do stand upright Do move slowly and in a controlled manner Do keep your feet in line Do have your feet shoulder-width apart	Don't hold your breath Don't turn your feet outwards Don't lock your knees Don't touch your heels on the ground during the exercise

Go Back Start Again
