This is a great idea. I read the other comments and can't believe the number of people who were suggesting a modification or that people with certain issues would not be able to do this. I mean, this is common sense, and Coach Nicole clearly states, here is the calf raise, you can use weights or the wall...and IF you want to take it a step further, hop on one foot with heal raised. There is no need for all of those who made those comments to make them...she never said you HAVE to do this. It was a suggestion if you wanted and COULD take it further. There should be no negativity directed to Coach Nicole.

Thank you for showing us this exercise. I already do the calf raises, fairly regularly. I don't think I'll add the hopping though - arthritis and obesity is not a good combination for doing that on 1 leg. I could maybe try some very small bounces, very small jumps both legs together, to spread the load?

Thank you coach Nicole . This should be an easy exercise I tried raising the heal and it's good I was doing that . But jumping I can not do . That's how bad my legs are. Thank you for giving so much

er, you might want to modify it for someone with knee issues. Report
