#4 Wall Calf Stretch

This beginner-level isometric exercise works wonders for improving the flexibility of the entire lower body.

Instructions:

Step 1: Stand straight in front of a wall with your feet positioned shoulder-width apart. Place the right foot forward and position your palms on the wall such that the torso is slightly bent forward. Ensure that you achieve this pose by bending your hips and not the spine.

Step 2: Apply pressure downwards ensuring that the feet are in position throughout the duration of the exercise.

Step 3: Hold the same position for around 15 seconds and then, return to the initial position. Perform the same motion with the other leg to train the other set of calf muscles.

Repeat the exercise for the recommended number of repetitions.
