KEY AREAS: Calves
START POSITION: Stand close to and facing a wall with your palms placed against the wall at shoulder height and wider than shoulder width. Your toes should be 2-3 inches from the wall.
Keep both feet flat on the floor at all times. Now slide one foot backwards behind you, keeping your hands flat and fixed in position. Keep the rear leg straight and the front leg bent slightly at the knee. Also maintain a bend in both elbows.
NOTES: Slowly bend your front leg and straighten the elbows until you feel a full stretch along the back of your rear leg (mostly the calf area). Hold this position for several seconds. Then swap legs and repeat.
