  • Keeping your heels on the floor, raise your toes up toward your shins
  • Make the motion as big as possible
  • Lower your toes back to the floor

Heel Raises

  • Keeping your toes on the floor, raise your heels up off of the floor, coming up on your toes

Perform 5-10 reps, 1-2x/day

The number of exercise repetitions and sets per day are just a suggestion and should be adjusted, as needed, to fit your fitness level and tolerance.
