Calf Sec Position Raises with Tight Arm Circles

Setup

• Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes turned outward in a wide stance, commonly known as second position in ballet.

• Extend your arms straight out to the sides at shoulder height.

Movement

• Maintain a tall, upright posture while engaging your core and glutes.

• Simultaneously lift your heels off the ground, coming onto your toes as high as possible.

• While holding the elevated position, perform small, controlled circular motions with your extended arms.

• Lower your heels back to the ground with control while maintaining the arm circles.

Tips for Success

• Keep your shoulders relaxed and down.

• Focus on balance by anchoring your gaze forward.

• Ensure your knees remain tracking over your toes if in a slight squat, or fully extended without locking them if standing tall.
