Active Standing Calf & Ankle Release
Cool-Down · Move 15 of 15
Starting position
Stand facing a wall, both hands flat on it at shoulder height. Step one foot back about two feet, heel pressed into the floor, leg straight.
Hold 30–45 sec each side
Breath, Slow, relaxed breathing
How to do it
Bend your front knee and lean toward the wall until you feel a stretch in your back calf. Hold about 30 seconds, then switch.
Keep in mind
Keep your back foot pointing straight ahead, not turned outward.
Every move: lightly lift your pelvic floor, a gentle lift, never a clench, and breathe slow and full (hold the stretches for about 5 easy breaths, at least 30 seconds). New to the lift? →
