Starting Position
Sit at a leg press machine. Put one foot on the floor of the machine and place your other foot on the lower edge of the leg press platform, with the ball of your foot resting on the edge.

Exercise
1. From the starting position, push out with your toe as hard as you can, so that you go fully onto your toe. Focus on power and speed as you push. You should feel the flex in your calf.
2. When you have extended as far as you can, reverse direction and slowly lower back down to the starting position.
3. Repeat the number of recommended reps with one leg, then switch legs and repeat on the other side.
