Bent-knee calf stretch
A small supported bend with the back heel grounded.
How to do it
- Stand in a short split stance with hands on a wall.
- Bend the back knee slightly while keeping its heel down.
- Release gently and change legs.
Form check
Do not let the back foot roll inward.
Make it easier
Use a shallower knee bend.
Move within a comfortable range and keep breathing. Stop if a movement causes pain or you feel unwell. Ask a qualified trainer for help with unfamiliar equipment.
