Standing Calf Stretch

Now that the weather is (finally!) cooler, this month’s WOW’s will focus on stretching the muscles of the feet. Walking is a great way to add in fitness throughout your day, and it’s a good idea to stretch out your legs as they can become tired throughout the workday.

Exercise: Standing calf stretch.

How to perform: Stand up tall and place your left foot in front of you and place your right foot behind you. Bend the front knee and keep the back knee locked while keeping both feet on the ground. You should feel a deep stretch in the backside of your right leg.

Duration: Hold for 30 seconds and repeat on both sides.
