How to perform

Step by step instructions for performing the Heel Walk exercise:

1. Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart and your arms relaxed at your sides.
2. Lift your toes off the ground so that only your heels are in contact with the floor.
3. Begin walking forward by taking small steps, keeping your toes lifted and only using your heels to propel yourself.
4. Continue walking in this manner for a set distance or time, maintaining good posture and engaging your core muscles.
5. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can try walking on your heels in a straight line or in a zig-zag pattern.
6. To modify the exercise, you can also perform the Heel Walk while holding onto a wall or a sturdy surface for support.

Repeat the Heel Walk exercise for several sets or a specific duration to effectively strengthen the muscles in your shins.
