Flexibility exercise

Calf Stretch

How to do it

Stand with the balls of both feet on the edge of a step or curb, heels hanging off the back edge.
Hold a rail or nearby support lightly for balance if needed, keeping both legs straight with only a soft bend in the knees.
Lower both heels below the level of the step until you feel a stretch through the calves.
Breathe steadily, exhaling as you let the heels settle a little lower with each breath.
Hold the position for 20 to 30 seconds.
Rise back up onto the balls of the feet slowly to release, avoiding dropping the heels sharply to force extra range.
