Dumbbell Seated One Leg Calf Raise - Hammer Grip

Coaching cues

• Sit on a bench or chair with your feet flat on the ground and a dumbbell resting on your thighs.
• Place one foot on a raised surface, such as a step or block, with your heel hanging off the edge.
• Hold the dumbbell with a hammer grip, meaning your palms are facing each other and your fingers are wrapped around the handle.
• Keeping your core engaged and your back straight, slowly raise your heel as high as possible by pushing through the ball of your foot.
• Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your heel back down to the starting position.
• Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other leg.
