Calf Stretch Left

Muscles worked: Calves

Calf Stretch Left stretches the left calf: standing near support, you step the left leg back, press the heel into the floor, and lean gently forward until the calf lengthens.

Keep the back heel flat on the floor and the back leg straight — the stretch comes from the heel staying down, not from leaning hard. Hold it while breathing normally, then switch to the right side.

1. Stand near support and step your left leg back.
2. Press your left heel into the floor and keep your back leg straight.
3. Lean gently forward until your left calf lengthens.
4. Hold while breathing normally — the stretch comes from the heel staying down, not from leaning hard.
