Technik-Tipps
To get the most out of this exercise, ensure that you're using a full range of motion. Lower your heels as far as you can towards the floor to stretch your calves, then push up onto your toes as high as possible. Avoid the common mistake of not fully extending or stretching your calves, which can limit the effectiveness of the exercise.
Avoid bouncing or using momentum to lift your body. This common mistake not only reduces the effectiveness of the exercise, but it can also lead to injuries.
