Band Single-Leg Reverse Calf Raise
The single-leg calf raise on a low board with a band under the foot, its end held low in the hand, so the band loads the heel raise.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on one foot on a low board, the band under that foot, its end held in the hand at the hip, the other foot off the floor.
Steps
- Rise onto the ball of the foot as high as you can.
- Pause at the top.
- Lower the heel slowly; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Pulling the band up with the arm: the arm only holds it; the calf lifts. Rolling onto the outer edge of the foot: rise straight over the big toe. Bouncing out of the bottom: lower fully, then rise.
Breathing
Exhale rising, inhale lowering.
