Instructions
1. Stand up straight with your feet at shoulder-width apart, holding a kettlebell in each hand at your sides. Ensure your grip is firm and your arms are relaxed.
2. Keep your core tight and back straight throughout the movement.
3. Slowly lift your heels off the ground, rising onto your toes while squeezing your calf muscles.
4. Hold the peak contraction at the top for a moment.
5. Gradually lower your heels back to the ground to return to the starting position.
6. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Make sure to keep the movement controlled and avoid using momentum to lift the weights. Adjust the weight of the kettlebells to match your fitness level and avoid overloading, especially if you're new to this exercise.
