Standing Calf Stretch - Eskeno

← All exercises

Exercise

Standing Calf Stretch

StretchBeginner

A standing stretch leaning into a wall with one leg extended straight behind, the heel pressed flat to the floor.

Tips & instructions

Form

Keep the back heel glued to the floor and the back leg straight, since a lifted heel or a bent knee removes most of the stretch from the calf.

Progression

Bend the back knee slightly and repeat to shift the stretch from the gastrocnemius toward the deeper soleus muscle.
