How to Do the Seated Calf Raise

Adjust the seat height so that your knees are slightly bent and your feet are flat on the footplate. Place your toes on the footplate with your heels hanging off the edge. Grasp the handles or the sides of the seat for stability. Push through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as possible. Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your heels back down to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
