Stand on a step or board with your heels hanging over the edge. Drop all the way down to stretch the calf muscle, then push yourself upward onto your toes. Keep your knees locked and your back straight so you don't use any other parts of your body to lift. Make sure to go all the way down as far as you can before pushing up again. For a more challenging workout, use only one leg at a time. Hook your other foot behind your ankle. When trying either exercise, be sure to have a handhold in case you lose your balance. For even more of a challenge, hold a dumbbell in one hand as you do the exercise.
