How to stretch at LA Fitness.
Wall Calf Stretch
This stretch is designed to help release tension built up in your calves.
Stand facing the wall, a bit less than arms-length away, in case you need to use the wall for stability. Start by stepping forward with one leg, while keeping the other leg back and extended with your heel and foot flat on the floor. Bend your front knee and press down through the back of your heel. Then, switch legs and repeat the stretch on the other side.
Top Tips
- Gradually and incrementally increase the duration of the stretch, holding the stretch for 20 seconds or more.
- Keep your feet parallel with your toes pointing forward at all times throughout the stretch.
- Focus on lengthening your calf muscle by keeping your back heel flat on the ground.
- Always remember to breathe throughout the stretch, relax, and avoid the impulse to tense up.
