How to perform Calf Stretch on Step

  1. Place your forefeet on a stable aerobic step or weight plate with room for your heels to lower, using a wall or railing for balance.
  2. Keep the working knee straight and let the other leg help control how much weight rests on that foot.
  3. Lower the working heel gently below the support until you reach a controlled calf stretch.
  4. Hold without bouncing or forcing the heel lower.
  5. Use your support and other leg to return, then change sides.
