Technique
- Push against a wall and place one leg back away from the wall and the other up in the air.
- Start by pushing the wall away from you and pressing your heel down, with the toes pointing forward. Your foot should be placed at such a distance so that you stretch your calf in that position.
- Push on the ball of your foot to move your heel up as high as possible.
- Come back to the starting position with control.
