  1. 1Stand with the balls of the feet on the floor or the edge of a step.
  2. 2Rise as high as you can onto the toes, knees straight.
  3. 3Pause at the top for a second.
  4. 4Lower slowly, letting the heels drop below the step if you use one.
  5. 5Keep the weight even across both feet; add dumbbells for load.
