Hold for time
How to do it
- Split stance in front of the frame, both feet pointing forward
- Straighten the back leg, heel stays on the floor
- Push your hips forward until you feel the stretch in your calf
- Hold: then switch sides
Coach’s tip
Mobile calves make squats and stairs easier. The back heel is your anchor: if it lifts, the stance is too long.
