Stand facing a wall or sturdy object, about an arm\u0027s length away. Place your hands on the wall or object at shoulder height. Step back with one foot, keeping your heel flat on the ground. Bend your front knee slightly and lean forward, keeping your back leg straight. You should feel a stretch in your calf muscle. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds. Repeat on the other leg.
