Single-Leg Calf Raise

Bodyweight Beginner

Stand on the edge of a step on one foot, the other foot tucked behind. Lower the heel below the step, then rise as high as you can. On one leg the stronger side can't hide the weaker one.

Muscles worked

This is a single limb exercise, meaning you work one arm/leg at a time.
