Adjust the smith machine bar to a height just below your shoulders.
Stand facing the bar with your feet hip-width apart and toes pointing forward.
Place the balls of your feet on the edge of a step or platform, with your heels hanging off.
Hold onto the bar for support.
Raise your heels as high as possible, lifting your body up onto your toes.
Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower your heels back down to the starting position.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
