This machine exercise targets your calves.

1. Depending on the type of machine, secure your body with shoulder pads or the seat.

2. Place the balls of your feet on the footplate and let your heels drop outward.

1. Keep the knee angle while raising the heels as high as possible.

2. Hold the calf contraction for about 1 second.

3. Slowly lower down until the calf is stretched.

4. Repeat.

Exhale when you lift your heels and inhale when you lower them.

1. Don't bounce back; move slowly.

2. If you have ankle pain, reduce the range and weight.
