Rocking Standing Calf Raise

A variant of the standing calf raise targeting both the calves and shins.

Instructions

• Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Hold a dumbbell in each hand beside you. This is your starting position.
• Lift your heels and hold.
• Roll forward onto the balls of your feet, then to the toes as you continue to lift your heels higher.
• Pause at the top for a moment before lowering back down.
• Roll back onto your heels, lifting your toes off the ground.
• Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Not keeping balance during the forward and backward roll.
• Using momentum instead of controlled movement.
• Not lifting onto the toes and rolling back onto the heels fully.
• Not engaging the shins and calves properly.
