How to do the exercise

Sets: 3

Repetitions: 12

Rest: 1 minute between sets

Description: Stand upright with feet flat on the ground, with electrodes placed on the calves. Slowly rise onto the balls of your feet by contracting the calf muscles, then gently lower back down while controlling the movement.

Tips: Keep your back straight and avoid leaning forward or backward. Breathe regularly and allow the electro-stimulation to activate your muscles for optimal strengthening.

Progression: Gradually increase the number of repetitions or the duration of contraction as the exercise becomes easier.
