Seated Calf Stretch

Expert Advice

Sit up straight and hinge at the hips rather than rounding the back to ensure a deep stretch in the calves and hamstrings.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you.
  2. Reach forward and grab your toes, pulling them towards you.
  3. Keep your back straight and lean forward from the hips to deepen the stretch.
  4. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds, then relax.
