One-Leg Cable Calf Raise Video Exercise Guide

The one-leg cable calf raise can be done using a dip belt or by holding a rope or straight bar.

1. Set up for the exercise by getting a step or block and placing it in front of a low pulley cable machine.
2. Attach an extension and dip belt to the low pulley and select the weight you want to use on the stack.
3. Step into the dip belt and position it around your waist comfortably.
4. Step onto the block with your left foot. The ball of your foot should be on the edge. 
5. Then let your heel drop as far as possible without hitting the floor. This is the starting position.
6. Slowly raise your heel as far as possible.
7. Pause and squeeze the calf, and then slowly lower back to the starting position.
8. Repeat for desired reps, and then repeat on the right leg.
