Exercise Description

The exercise ball on the wall calf raise exercise builds stronger, more defined calf muscles. It adds instability to make your core work harder too.

How To

1. Place an exercise ball between your back and the wall, standing upright with feet hip-width apart. 2. Keep your shoulders and upper back pressed against the exercise ball throughout the movement. 3. Rise up onto your toes by pushing through the balls of your feet as high as possible. 4. Hold the top position for one second, feeling the squeeze in your calves. 5. Lower your heels back down slowly and controlled to complete one exercise ball on the wall calf raise rep.

Form Tips

• Keep constant pressure on the exercise ball with your back to maintain stability throughout each rep. • Rise up as high as possible on your toes to get the full range of motion and maximum calf activation. • Control the lowering phase - don't just drop your heels down quickly after each exercise ball on the wall calf raise. • Keep your core tight to help balance against the unstable ball surface.

Common Mistakes

• Bouncing at the bottom instead of controlling each exercise ball on the wall calf raise rep with smooth movement. • Not going high enough on your toes, which limits the range of motion and muscle activation. • Letting the ball slip or losing contact with it during the exercise ball on the wall calf raise movement.
