Calf Stretch (Off Step)

10 April 2025

Particularly good for runners with tight calves!

- Hold onto something for support.
- Place both feet on the bottom step of the stairs – hip width apart.
- Slide one foot back until only the ball of the foot remains on the step.
- Keeping this leg straight, lower the heel off the step until a stretch is felt in the calf.
- Hold for 15 seconds as part of maintenance or post-workout stretching routine.
- Hold for 30 seconds or longer as part of a developmental stretching routine.
- Swap to the other leg and repeat.
