Overview
The single leg calf raise on a step is a good way to shape and tone your calf. The best part about doing this exercise on a step is that you can stretch your calf while you strengthen it. This exercise can be done almost anywhere there is a step. If better looking calves is your goal then give this exercise a try.

- Lower your heel as far as it can go
- Then rise up onto your toes, lifting your heel as far as it can go
- Then lower the heel again
