How to do it
Keep your knees fully extended throughout the entire walk.
- 1
Stand upright with your feet hip-width apart.
- 2
Rise onto the balls of your feet, lifting your heels off the ground.
- 3
Walk forward on your toes for a set distance or time.
- 4
Lower your heels back to the ground to rest before the next set.
Expert tip
Keep your core engaged and maintain an upright posture to prevent leaning forward, which can reduce the effectiveness of the calf engagement.
