Pro Tip
Lean In: Lean into the wall by bending your front knee, keeping your back leg straight and heel on the ground. You should feel a stretch in your calf muscle. A common mistake to avoid is leaning too far or too fast into the wall which can cause strain or injury. Always move into the stretch slowly and only to the point of mild tension, not pain. Hold and Repeat: Hold the stretch for about 20-30 seconds, then switch legs and repeat. This helps ensure both calves get an equal workout. A common mistake to avoid is not holding the stretch
