Instructions

  1. Sit back against the backrest of the lever machine and place the balls of your feet firmly on the footplate with your heels hanging off.

  2. Release any safety catches and hold onto the handles for stability while keeping your legs extended with a slight bend in the knees.

  3. Exhale and press through the balls of your feet to push the platform outward by contracting your calves as high as possible.

  4. Hold the top position briefly, then inhale as you slowly lower your heels back down to feel a deep stretch in your calves.
