Conseils techniques
Avoid bouncing or jerking movements. Slow, controlled movements are key, raising your heels as high as possible, squeezing at the top, and then slowly lowering back down. This will ensure maximum muscle engagement and prevent potential injuries.
It's crucial to use a full range of motion for this exercise. This means lowering your heels as far as you can to stretch the calf muscles, and then raising them as high as possible to contract the muscles. Many people make the mistake of not fully extending their calves at the top of the movement or not stretching them at the bottom.
