How to do it

Lean your back against a wall with the heels a foot or so out in front, then pull the toes up toward the shins as far as they go and lower them slowly to the floor.

Muscles worked

Primary: calves

Equipment

No equipment

Common mistakes

• Standing the feet too close to the wall, which leaves almost no range to pull through
• Letting the toes slap back down instead of lowering under control
• Leaning forward off the wall so the body weight stops loading the shin

Variations

• Walk the feet further from the wall for more resistance
• Hold the top for three seconds
