Place both of your heels on the object, shift your weight to one leg. While staying upright and tall, push your toes into the ground with that foot and elevate your heel as much as possible.. Repeat this process for the prescribed amount of reps.
FEEL: You should feel your calf muscles working.
COMPENSATION: Keep your body tall and upright, don’t lean too far forwards as you perform the heel raise.
