How to do it

  1. Sit with your working leg extended and loop a band around the top of your foot, anchoring the other end in front of you (or under the opposite foot).
  2. Start with your toes pointed away so the band is taut.
  3. Pull your toes up and toward your shin against the band's resistance, keeping the heel on the floor.
  4. Hold the contraction briefly, then return to the pointed position under control. Switch feet after the set.
