Calf Stretch (Straight Knee)

Standing with your arms stretched in front of you and hands on a wall, support your weight on your right foot with knee slightly bent while placing your left foot behind you with the heel on the ground and the knee straight (figure 4.14). Lean forward, feeling the stretch in your calf. Hold for 10 to 30 seconds and repeat 3 to 5 times. Perform this stretch on the opposite side.
