Seated calf raise: how to do it
1 of 4
Knees under the pad, heels free
Starting position
Sit in the machine with the balls of your feet on the platform, heels free and knees under the pad.
The movement
Lower your heels as far as you can, then raise them as high as possible and lower them slowly again.
Most common mistake
Don't bounce at the bottom, change direction with control and use the full range, from heels all the way down to high on your toes.
