Calf Stretch on Step
Technique
How to perform Calf Stretch on Step
- 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.
- Keep the working knee straight and let the other leg help control how much weight rests on that foot.
- Lower the working heel gently below the support until you reach a controlled calf stretch.
- Hold without bouncing or forcing the heel lower.
- Use your support and other leg to return, then change sides.
