Weighted Calf Raise

Calve flexibility and strength allow for stability of the ankle, as well as the initial force production into the ground to generate power upward through the legs

Starting position:

Standing tall, holding the plates near your outer thighs.

Movement:

Lowly raise your heals off the ground while keeping your toes planted.

Finish position:

Once your heals are fully extended, hold for one second while contracting the calves, then lower yourself slowly to the starting position
