Heel Raises

Heel Raises

Instructions

01

Stand with your feet flat on the floor, about hip-width apart.

02

If you feel unsteady, lightly hold with your hand on a chair, wall, table, or counter.

03

Keeping your knees straight, raise both heels such that you're standing on your toes. Make sure that you feel pressure on the inside of your big toes rather than the ends of your feet.

04

Hold for a count of 6 seconds.

05

Then, slowly lower your heels back to the floor.

06

Aim for at least 8 to 12 reps. Do at least 2 sets a day initially and then work yourself up from there.
