Band Single-Leg Calf Raise
The one-leg calf raise against a band under the working foot, held at the hip; the higher the heel, the harder it pulls.
How to do it
Setup
One foot on a low step over the band, its handle in the same-side hand, free hand on a wall.
Steps
- Rise on the working foot, the band hand fixed at the hip.
- Hold the top for a beat against the band.
- Lower the heel below the step; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Band hand riding up with the rise: pin it at the hip. Pushing off the wall: the free hand only steadies. Half reps on top of the step: drop the heel below the edge.
Breathing
Exhale rising, inhale lowering.
