Resisted Plantar Flexion with Band

Technique:

• Loop a resistance band around the forefoot and hold onto the ends
• Point the foot away slowly allowing it to return to a resting position
• Aim for 10-20 reps and 3 sets with a short rest in between
• Once this exercise feels easy, you can increase the strength of the resistance band or progress on to full calf raise exercises
• This exercise can be repeated with a bent knee to target the soleus muscle lower down the calf area
