Which class of Lever is being described if you are standing on tiptoes and if: The Fulcrum is at the metatarsal and phalanges, which is at one end of this lever on the anterior side of the body. The Load is your body weight which is in the middle of this lever. The Effort is exerted by the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles at the calcaneal (Achilles') tendon on the other side of this lever on the posterior side of the body.

A second class lever is when the resistance ( load/weight ) is placed in between the axis ( Fulcrum which is formed by the metatarsal and Phalanges ) and the force ( Achilles tendon ) that is applied to the lever. hence the class of lever being described is a second class lever
