Calves

1. Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart, keeping your core engaged (lightly touch a wall or sturdy object for balance if needed).
2. Press down through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as possible, squeezing your calves at the top.
3. Slowly lower your heels back to the floor under control, maintaining tension before starting the next repetition.
