Wall-Supported Calf Raise

1. Stand facing a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart. Place your hands on the wall at about chest level for balance.

2. Shift your weight onto the balls of your feet.

3. Slowly raise your heels as high as you can, pressing down through the balls of your feet and contracting your calf muscles.

4. Pause at the top of the calf raise for a moment.

5. Slowly lower your heels back to the floor to return to the starting position.

6. Perform the desired number of repetitions and sets.

Tips: - Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the movement. - Avoid bouncing or using momentum; lift and lower through controlled movement. - You may adjust the distance from the wall to increase or decrease support as needed. - Progress by holding weights or wearing a weighted vest once the bodyweight version becomes easy.
