-Stand on the edge of an elevated surface, with your heels hanging off

-Hold a weight using the hand on the same side of the calf raise, use your other hand to hold onto a support for balance if needed. If using a machine set it up according to machine instructions

-Raise your heels as high as possible by pushing through the balls of your feet

-Slowly lower your heels down below the edge as far as you can to get the full stretch

-Pause for one second at the bottom before coming back up

-The most important part of this exercise is the pause and stretch of the calves below the edge, be sure to spend time in that ROM
