Instructions

Stand facing a wall with the balls of your right foot on the edge of a step and your left foot lifted off the ground.
Place your hands lightly on the wall for balance while keeping your torso upright and core engaged.
Lower your right heel slowly toward the floor until you feel a gentle stretch in your calf.
Press through the ball of your right foot to raise your heel as high as possible.
Pause briefly at the top of the movement, then lower back down in a controlled manner.
