Standing Bent-Knee Alternating Calf Raise with a Chair Support
The chair-supported bent-knee calf raise one leg at a time: one foot lifts behind, the other rises, sides swap each rep.
How to do it
Setup
Hands on a chair back, feet hip-width, knees softly bent.
Steps
- Lift one foot behind and rise on the other.
- Lower, set the lifted foot down, and switch.
- Keep the same knee bend on every rep.
Common mistakes
Leaning the chest over the chair: stay upright; it only steadies. Standing knee straightening: the bend stays. Switching in a rush: finish each rise first.
Breathing
Exhale rising, inhale lowering.
