Calf Raises - With Bands

Form sequence

1. 01 · stand on band

   Grab an exercise band and stand on it with your toes making sure that the length of the band between the foot and the arms is the same for both sides.

2. 02 · start

   While holding the handles of the band, raise the arms to the side of your head as if you were getting ready to perform a shoulder press. The palms should be facing forward with the elbows bent and to the sides. This movement will create tension on the band. This will be your starting position.

3. 03 · raise · Key step

   Keeping the hands by your shoulder, stand up on your toes as you exhale and contract the calves hard at the top of the movement.

4. 04 · lower

   After a one second contraction, slowly go back down to the starting position.

5. 05 · repeat

   Repeat for the recommended amount of repetitions.
