Calf Pulses
- 1 - Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart. You can do calf pulses with bodyweight, or you can hold onto a stable surface like a wall or a sturdy piece of equipment for balance.
- 2 - Lift your heels off the ground, rising onto the balls of your feet. This is the starting position.
- 3 - Instead of completing a full range of motion, perform small, controlled pulses by lifting your heels slightly up and down within a short range. Keep the movement focused on the calves.
- 4 - Emphasize contracting your calf muscles during the pulses. Feel the stretch at the bottom of the movement and the contraction at the top.
- 5 - Keep your core engaged and maintain an upright posture throughout the exercise. Avoid leaning forward or backward excessively.
- 6 - Perform the pulses in a controlled and deliberate manner. The goal is to keep tension on the calves throughout the set.
- 7 - Breathe naturally throughout the exercise. Exhale as you lift your heels, and inhale as you lower them.
