Instructions

Setup

  • Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, ensuring you have a stable base.

  • Hold a dumbbell with both hands, gripping the weighted ends or the handle with both palms facing each other.

Movement

  • Raise the dumbbell overhead with your arms fully extended.

  • Simultaneously, perform a calf raise by lifting your heels off the ground, balancing on your toes.

  • Lower the dumbbell behind your head by bending your elbows, keeping your upper arms close to your ears.

  • At the same time, return your heels to the floor.

  • Extend your arms back to the starting overhead position while pushing up onto your toes again for the next repetition.

Form Tips

  • Keep your core tight to maintain balance during the calf raise.

  • Ensure your elbows point forward and remain tucked throughout the movement.

  • Coordinate the arm movement with the calf raise for a fluid motion.
