Lift and lower your heels with all your weight on the balls of your feet, aiming to hold in the upward phase for 2 - 3 seconds, prior to returning your heel back down to the floor.

You may decide to work this exercise with both feet, or one leg at a time (harder), trying out numerous foot placements - feet normal - toes facing out (pigeon toe) - toes facing inwards.
