For users training from home or traveling, this banded calf raise is a great way to log lower leg gains in the FitnessTracker. It’s easy to scale, and the variable resistance increases difficulty at the peak of each rep.
Instructions
- Stand on a resistance band with equal length under both feet and hold the handles near your shoulders.
- Keep your palms facing forward with elbows bent as if preparing for a shoulder press.
- Press through the balls of your feet to lift your heels as high as possible.
- Hold and contract at the top, then slowly lower back down under control.
- Perform the desired number of reps.
