A targeted shin-and-calf pair that works both sides of your lower leg – good for anyone wanting ankle strength or a quick standing break at their desk.

Toe raises hit the front of your shin, then calf raises work the back. It's simple, standing-only, and completely silent – the kind of thing you can do next to your desk without anyone noticing.

Strengthening the muscles around the ankle has been shown to improve balance and reduce injury risk, especially for people who spend long hours in seated positions.
