Instructions
1. Sit on a chair with your back straight and feet flat on the floor. Your legs should be bent at about 90 degrees.
2. Position your arms as if you were performing a shoulder press. For beginners, this can be done with just your body weight. As you progress, you can hold on to weights like dumbbells to increase resistance.
3. Slowly raise your heels as high as possible, putting the weight onto your toes and flexing your calf muscles. At the same time, extend your arms straight above your head, mimicking a shoulder press movement.
4. Hold the calf raise and pressed position for a moment, ensuring your calf muscles are fully contracted.
5. Slowly lower your heels back to the floor and return your arms to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure you maintain good posture throughout the exercise, and avoid using jerky or rapid movements.
