Seated Calf Stretch
1 - Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight out in front of you.
2 - Keep your back straight and your core lightly engaged throughout the stretch.
3 - Loop a resistance band, towel, or strap around the ball of one foot, or simply reach forward and grasp your toes with your hand.
4 - Gently pull your toes back toward your shin, dorsiflexing your foot until you feel a stretch in your calf and the back of your lower leg.
5 - Hold the stretch for 20 to 30 seconds, breathing deeply and relaxing into the position with each exhale.
6 - Release slowly and repeat on the opposite leg.
7 - Perform 2 to 3 repetitions per side for optimal flexibility benefit.
