Exercise Description

The one leg floor calf raise builds single-leg calf strength and improves ankle stability. It targets each calf individually, fixing muscle imbalances.

How To

1. Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips or walls for balance. 2. Lift your left foot off the ground, bending knee to 90 degrees behind you. 3. Rise up onto the ball of your right foot for the one leg floor calf raise, lifting heel as high as possible. 4. Hold the top position for 1 second, squeezing your calf muscle tight. 5. Lower down slowly and repeat all reps before switching to your other leg for the one leg floor calf raise.

Form Tips

• Keep your standing leg straight during the entire one leg floor calf raise movement • Rise up as high as possible on your toes for maximum calf muscle activation • Lower down slowly to control the movement and build strength in the one leg floor calf raise • Keep your core tight and body upright throughout each rep

Common Mistakes

• Bouncing up and down quickly instead of controlling the one leg floor calf raise movement • Not lifting high enough on your toes, which limits the range of motion • Leaning forward or backward instead of staying upright during the one leg floor calf raise
