Machine Lying Calf Pilate Raise

Lie on your back on the reformer carriage with your head resting comfortably and your shoulders against the shoulder blocks.

Place the balls of your feet on the footbar with your heels hanging off slightly and your legs fully extended.

Press through the balls of your feet to push your heels upward, fully contracting your calf muscles.

Slowly lower your heels down past the footbar level to feel a deep stretch in your calves, then repeat the movement for your desired repetitions.
