Lean slightly forward throughout the movement, with the balls of your feet placed on the edge of the raised platform, smoothly raise your heels from the floor, up to a tiptoe position, holding in the upper phase for a few seconds, prior to returning down under control.

This exercise can be performed in a number of different ways, single foot – double foot – with a combination of foot placements.
