Weighted Calf Donkey Raise

Stand with the balls of your feet on a raised platform or block, keeping your heels hanging off the edge.

Bend forward at your hips and place your hands firmly on a stable bench or support in front of you.

Have a partner sit securely across your lower back and hips to provide extra resistance.

Press through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as possible, squeezing your calves at the top.

Lower your heels back down in a slow and controlled motion until you feel a deep stretch in your calves.
