How to do it

1. Lie on a leg press machine and extend your legs to the platform.
2. Position the balls of your feet on the platform and have your heels remain in the air.
3. Take a breath, push the platform to straighten your legs, and unlatch the safety bars of the leg press machine.
4. In a controlled fashion, allow your ankles to flex while keeping your legs straight and heels in the same position. You should feel a stretch in your calves.
5. Now, push through the balls of your feet to extend both ankles as much as you can and hold the contraction for a second before releasing.
6. Keep repeating.
