How to perform it
- Being by looping a belt, band, or rope around one foot. While standing, place that foot forward.
- Bend your back leg, while keeping the front one straight. Now raise the toes of your front foot off of the ground and lean forward.
- Using the belt, pull on the top of the foot to increase the stretch in the calf. Hold for 10-20 seconds and repeat with the other foot.
