Guided Instructions
Start by standing tall with your feet hip-width apart and your toes pointing forward. Keep your core engaged and your posture upright. Slowly lift your heels off the ground, rising onto the balls of your feet. Hold this position for a brief second at the top to feel the contraction in your calves. Lower your heels back down under control — avoid letting them drop suddenly.
Keep your movement steady and smooth throughout the exercise. Focus on pushing through your toes and maintaining balance. If needed, use a wall or chair for support. To increase difficulty, try single-leg calf raises or perform the exercise on an elevated surface for a deeper stretch.
Remember to breathe naturally and keep tension in your core to stabilize your movement. Performing bodyweight calf raises consistently will build muscle endurance, strengthen your legs, and improve mobility.
