Standing Hamstring and Calf Stretch

Stretch your entire posterior chain from calves to hamstrings.

FitnessTracker recommends this stretch as a great cooldown for runners, lifters, or anyone with tight legs. It’s portable, adjustable, and highly effective.

Instructions

  1. Loop a band or belt around the ball of one foot and extend that leg in front of you.
  2. Keep the front leg straight while bending your back leg slightly for balance.
  3. Pull on the band to raise your toes and deepen the stretch in the calf and hamstring.
  4. Hold, then switch sides.
