Alternating Standing Drop Heel

Setup

• Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

• Rise up onto the balls of both feet to engage the calf muscles.

Movement

• Keep both legs active in a partial raise.

• Slowly lower one heel toward the floor while keeping the other raised.

• Return to the starting position with both heels lifted.

• Repeat the movement on the opposite side, alternating rhythmically.

Tips

• Maintain a firm core to help with balance.

• Focus on feeling a controlled stretch and contraction in the calf of the lowering leg.
