Correct Form

1. Sit on the machine and place the balls of your feet on the lower edge of the platform, with your heels hanging off. 2. Keep your legs nearly straight, but avoid locking your knees. 3. Press through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as possible. 4. Slowly lower your heels back down below the level of the platform.

Common Mistake

Avoid bouncing or using momentum; perform the movement slowly and with control.

Pro Tips

1. Focus on a full range of motion, lift your heels as high as possible and lower them fully. 2. Keep your upper body relaxed and avoid tensing your shoulders during the exercise.
