Calf raises can be done either on a step or flat on the ground. Bring your heels down as far as they can go, if you are on a step, or just to the ground, and lift your heels slowly with good control to work on strength. Lift up as high as you can.

If standing on one leg is difficult for you, here is an alternative exercise. Stand on one leg with the opposite leg on a ball. See how long you can hold it. Have a surface nearby so you can hold it just in case you are to lose your balance. Switch legs after you are done and repeat a few times to get more practice!

As the saying goes - if you don't use it, you lose it. Being able to stand on one leg may be easy for some, but as activity level decreases, this ends up being very difficult for some people to do. If it was easy before, but you have sustained an injury, this is something you may need to practice again before you return to sport. Try not to let your legs touch while doing this exercise! And always practice balance while standing near something you can hold on to.
