Bent Leg Calf Stretch

Joneissa, here and today's special stretch is Bent Leg Calf Stretch.

You can do this stretch by standing with your feet slightly close together, but stagger one foot behind the other. Bend both knees until you feel a comfortable stretch just above the ankle of your back leg, where you're shifting most of your weight to. Bending your knee allows you to stretch a deeper calf muscle, the soleus. The soleus is a broad muscle in the lower calf, below the gastrocnemius, that flexes the foot to point the toes downward.

 

This is not a hard stretch to do. Tune in later to learn how to do a Standing Quadriceps Stretch if you don’t already know how to one. Let me know if there’s any specific stretches you what me to cover.
