How to do the Wall Calf Stretch

1. Stand facing a wall about an arm's length away and place your hands on it at shoulder height.
2. Step one foot back with toes forward and heel planted.
3. Bend your front knee while keeping the back leg straight and lean into the wall to feel the calf stretch.

Tips

• Keep your back heel anchored for the best stretch.
• Maintain a long spine and relaxed shoulders as you lean.

Adjustments

• Walk the back foot closer to the wall if the stretch feels too intense.
