Starting Position	These exercise ball exercises require you to place the exercise ball against the wall at chest level and lean into the ball. Place your hands on the ball at chest height and stabilize the ball against the wall. Take a step out from the wall and raise one foot off the floor. Maintain a neutral spine.
Action	While keeping your trunk stable and your chest up, slowly raise yourself up as high as you will go onto the ball of your foot. Lower yourself to the point where your heels touch the ground and repeat on each side.
Prime Movers	Calves
Physio Tips	Don't allow your hips to sag or your back to arch If this is too difficult, try the Calf Raise 1, and Calf Raise 2.
