How to perform
1
Place the balls of your feet on the lower edge of the platform so your heels are hanging off. Keep your legs nearly straight but do not lock your knees.
2
Release the lock and slowly let your heels drop as far down as possible to get a good stretch in your calves.
3
Forcefully push up with the balls of your feet as high as you can, squeezing your calves at the top.
4
Hold for a moment and then slowly lower back down. Repeat.
