- the knee joint remains stretched
- go back to the starting position slowly
- switch the foot and repeat several times
tips for the workout
- put a plank under the ball of your foot
- use the bigger range of the motion to make the calf workout more effective
- you can also put on a filled backpack to increase the resistance for the feet
