Seated Calf Stretch

This is a great stretch to use after walking, running, or any lower-body training. At FitnessTracker, we use this stretch to prevent cramping and maintain mobility in the calves and hamstrings—especially for those who sit a lot or wear tight shoes.

Instructions

1. Sit on the floor with one leg extended and the other bent for support.
2. Flex your ankle so that your toes point toward the ceiling.
3. Loop a towel or band around the ball of your foot and gently pull it toward you.
4. Hold the stretch for 10–20 seconds, keeping your back tall and chest lifted.
5. Switch sides and repeat as needed.
