Standing Calf Raises with Upper Body Balance Support (Intensity level: beginner)
Equipment: Stroller, or something to hold onto for support
- Start standing next to something you can rest your hands on will not move (wall, tree, back of a couch)
- Keeping your trunk stacked (no extra arch in your low back), raise up onto both toes as you lift your heels off the ground as high as you can.
- Without holding, lower back down.
- Repeat for 20 repetitions. You may need to break this down into 2 sets of 10 repetitions.
- Consider performing a calf stretch (see other video) after performing this exercise.
