Standing Calf Stretch
A step-by-step guide from the Ægir Iron exercise library: how to do the movement and what to watch for.
- Equipment
- Bodyweight
HOW TO PERFORM
- Stand facing a wall with both hands on it and one foot back in a staggered stance.
- Keep the back leg straight and press that heel flat into the floor.
- Lean toward the wall until the back of the lower leg stretches.
- Hold and breathe, then switch sides.
FORM TIPS
- Repeat with the back knee slightly bent to move the stretch off the gastrocnemius and onto the soleus and Achilles.
