Instructions

Seated Heel Slide on a Chair

Positioning:

Sit on the edge of the chair with your back straight and feet flat on the floor, hip-width apart.
Your knees should be bent at a 90-degree angle.

Movement:

Slowly slide your right heel forward along the floor, extending your leg straight while keeping your foot flat.
Once extended, pause for a moment, then slowly slide your heel back to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for 10-15 repetitions on the right leg.
Switch to the left leg and repeat the same steps for 10-15 repetitions.
Focus on keeping the movements slow and controlled to engage your calf muscles effectively.

Tips:

Keep your core engaged to maintain good posture throughout the exercise.
Make sure your movements are smooth to avoid strain.
If you feel any discomfort, stop and consult with a fitness professional.
