2. Spread your legs shoulder-width apart.
Proper Form
1. Please raise your heels as high as possible to contract your calf muscles.
2. While resisting the weight, please stop so that your heels do not touch the ground.
Breathing Technique
Exhale when you raise your legs and inhale when you lower them.
Precautions
1. Please be careful not to let your knees spread apart.
2. Keep your chest up and engage your core to avoid bending your waist.
