How to Do calf drops to stretch the calves and prevent Achilles tendonitis

Person performing a balance exercise on a step platform.

Calf drops are simple exercises that produce big results. Calf drops involve standing up on your toes on an elevated plank, shifting your weight to one foot, and then lowering yourself down.

Repeating this motion several times before and after you run will strengthen and stretch your Achilles tendon, meaning there's less of a chance you'll pull the tendon and get tendonitis.

Apple's iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 updates are packed with new features, and you can try them before almost everyone else. First, check Gadget Hacks' list of supported iPhone and iPad models, then follow the step-by-step guide to install the iOS/iPadOS 26 beta — no paid developer account required.
