Calf Stretch

By Lucas D. Wold www.carsoncityfitnesssystems.com

 

 

Position:

-          Weight on one foot and both hands

-          Try to touch heel of foot to ground

-          Back straight

 

Hold for desired length of time and switch sides.

 

During lower body exercises, many athletes have a tendency to tip forwards.  This is due to tight calf musculature.  Stretching prior to exercise will help to prevent this, as well as alleviate any delayed soreness.
