Calf stretch

  • MODEL: YUKTHA JAYAGOPAL

The calf muscle helps the heart in the circulation of blood. The muscle plays an important role in activities like walking, running and jumping. It is subjected to quite a good load during most activities and is also prone to cramps. Here is a simple posture to keep the calf muscle healthy.

Method

* Stand straight, facing the wall, at a distance of about two feet.

* Flexing the knees, place the right foot inclined against the wall,
with the heel pressed to the floor and the toes against the wall.

* Straighten the leg.

* Lift the left heel up and straighten the left leg.

* Move as close to the wall as possible, pressing the hands against it.

* Feel the stretch in the calf muscle.

* The more the inclination of the foot, the better the stretch.

* Stay for 30-60 seconds.

* Bring the right leg back to start and repeat with the left leg.
