One-Leg Standing Bodyweight Calf Raise Video Exercise Guide

All you need for the one leg standing calf raise is a block or step and something to help you keep your balance. It's usually easiest to set the block up next to a wall or machine.

  1. Stand on the block with your left foot, the ball of your foot should be resting on the edge of the block.
  2. Hook your right ankle around your left ankle.
  3. Slowly let the heel drop as far as possible. This is the starting position.
  4. Slowly raise the heel up as far as possible.
  5. Pause, and then slowly lower the heel down.
  6. Repeat this movement for desired reps.
