Description

You are standing facing a wall in a lunge position, with the leg to be worked placed behind, and a folded towel (or another object) placed under the toes of the back foot to increase the ankle angle. You will lean against the wall and bend the front leg to bring your body weight forward. At the same time, keep the back leg straight and the heel firmly anchored to the ground to feel the stretch in the calf, and hold the position.
