How to do it

Steps :

1.) Start by sitting down on the end of a flat bench with a block or step positioned right in front of you, and holding a dumbbell on your right leg.

2.) Extend your left leg out in front of you then dip your right heel down towards the floor as far as possible as this will be your starting position.

3.) Keeping the dumbbell firmly pressed up against your right knee, slowly raise your heel up off of the floor as far as possible squeezing your calf and hold for a count.

4.) Return back to the starting position.

5.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
