Repeat to complete your planned reps for this set, then do the right side. To increase the difficulty of this exercise, hold a dumbbell in one hand.

Watch your form!
Lower your heels as far as possible but do not rest your heels on the ground, keep tension on your calf muscles for the duration of the set.
