Heel raises strengthen
the calf muscles. Do 8 to 12 repetitions several times during the day.
- Stand with your feet a few inches apart, with
your hands lightly resting on a counter or chair in front of
you.
- Slowly raise your heels off the floor while keeping your knees
straight. Hold for about 6 seconds, then slowly lower your heels to the
floor.
