1 - Begin by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes pointing forward.
2 - Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and hips. Keep your back straight, chest up, and core engaged.
3 - Hold the squat position, ensuring that your knees are aligned with your toes and not extending beyond them. Keep your weight balanced on your heels.
4 - While maintaining the squat position, rise up onto the balls of your feet, lifting your heels as high as you can. This engages your calf muscles.
5 - Hold the calf raise position at the top for a moment to maximize calf muscle engagement. Then, lower your heels back down to the ground while still maintaining the squat position.
6 - Perform the calf raises while in the squat hold position for the desired number of repetitions or for a specific duration.
