Resistance Band Calf Raise
A calf raise done seated: legs straight on the floor, a band around the balls of the feet, and the feet point away against it.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, legs straight, band around the balls of the feet, ends held taut.
Steps
- Point the toes away, stretching the band.
- Hold the pointed position for a beat.
- Let the band draw the feet back slowly.
Common mistakes
Knees bending as the feet point: legs stay straight. Pulling the band with the arms: the hands only hold it. Letting the band snap the feet back: return slowly.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
