Kettlebell Standing Calf Raise
The standing calf raise with a kettlebell in each hand and the feet flat on the floor; the bells hang close to the legs.
How to do it
Setup
Feet hip-width on the floor, a kettlebell in each hand, arms long, shoulders down.
Steps
- Press through the balls of the feet and rise.
- Hold the top, the bells hanging still.
- Bring the heels back to the floor under control.
Common mistakes
Bells swinging forward: they hang still at the sides. Shrugging to help: the arms only hold; the ankles lift. Dropping fast from the top: lower on a slow count.
Breathing
Exhale rising, inhale lowering.
