Do you do enough?
I walk about 40 mins a day, but that's about it. I suppose it isn't bad, and more than some do. I haven't exercised much lately as I have been off work for a while as I sprained my ankle before Christmas, and I've been as lazy as eff. I have been off work for a number of weeks now (about 6) as I had flu as well in early Jan and my workplace was shut for 2 weeks for Christmas anyway. I go back next week as the doc has written me as fit for work again. So my life will go back to not having enough time to scratch my backside half the time. And hopefully I can get back into exercise. 
probably isn't enough by standards but oh well.

Stand on top of your step with legs hip width apart and back straight. The heel of both feet should be off the step, with just the balls of your feet on the step.

With legs slightly bent, lower both heels towards the ground as far as you can. To keep your balance, either hold on to the banister lightly with one hand (if you are using a staircase), or keep your arms out to the sides, if you are using an aerobic step.

Slowly come up to starting position and repeat the movement. Keep the motion controlled so that you are forcing the calf muscles to do the work and keep you balanced. Repeat the exercise five to ten times and take a break. Work up to three sets of ten.

For an added challenge, as your heels come up toward the starting position, continue the movement upward and raise your heel as high as you can until you are almost on your tiptoes. This is using the full range of motion of the calf muscles and will tire the muscles more quickly.
