- Position lower back and hips under padded lever. Place forearms
on supports. Position toes and balls of feet on calf block with

Execution
- Raise heels by extending ankles as high as possible. Lower
heels by bending ankles until calves are stretched. Repeat.

straight throughout exercise or bend knees slightly only during
