Step-by-step
- Face a wall and place your hands on it
- Extend one leg back with the heel down and knee straight
- Bend your front knee to bring your body toward the wall
- When you feel the stretch in the back calf, hold for 30 seconds
- Switch sides and repeat
Coaching tip
The back knee must stay straight; if it bends, the stretch shifts from the gastrocnemius to the soleus.
