Correct Form

1. Sit on a bench with your feet flat on the floor, holding a dumbbell on each knee. 2. Raise your heels as high as possible, lifting the dumbbells with your legs. 3. Squeeze your calves at the top, then slowly lower your heels.

Common Mistake

Don’t let your heels drop too quickly; control the descent to maximize the stretch.

Pro Tips

1. Keep your core tight to maintain stability and prevent unnecessary movement. 2. If the dumbbells on your knees feel uncomfortable, use a towel or pad for extra cushioning.
