How to do it

  1. Adjust the shoulder pads to your height and step in so your shoulders are under them.
  2. Stand with the balls of your feet on the edge of the step and your heels hanging off, legs straight but knees not locked.
  3. Rise up onto your toes as high as you can and pause.
  4. Slowly lower your heels until you feel a stretch in your calves.

Beginner tip: Move slowly through the full range instead of bouncing.
