Single Leg Calf Hop Left

Muscles worked: Calves

Single Leg Calf Hop Left is a small hopping calf exercise on the left foot: short, springy hops in place, staying on the ball of the foot.

Keep the hops tiny and springy, landing softly each time, and use your arms lightly for balance. This is a power and endurance move for the calf — stop if the ankle or Achilles complains, and keep the volume modest at first.
