CALVES
Prone Calf Stretch
This stretch lengthens the calf by driving the heel toward the floor while you hold a raised position. Working one leg at a time lets you control the depth and ease tension out of tight lower legs. It works well after training to aid recovery and cut down soreness.
How to do it
- 1
Set your hands under your shoulders and lift your hips so your body forms a straight line from shoulders to heels.
- 2
Cross one foot over the opposite heel.
- 3
Bend the top knee slightly and press the working heel back toward the floor.
- 4
Ease into the position until you feel a comfortable stretch in that calf.
- 5
Hold for fifteen to thirty seconds.
- 6
Switch legs and repeat on the other side.
