"Hi! My name is Monica and this next exercise we’re going to show you is actually a stretch. It’s a stretch for back of your calf, right in here. What you’re going to do is find a good wall or something you can lean against. Whatever leg you want to stretch, in this case my right leg, pull it back away from the wall. The further you pull your leg back, the more of a stretch you going to get. What I want you to do is make sure your heel is on the floor and straighten you knee as far as you can. Then you just lean into the wall. Since it’s a stretch, you want to hold it for about 30 seconds. You don’t want it to be painful or too intense, just a nice, comfortable, gentle stretch. Once you do it, straight lay like this, go ahead and bend your knee and then just lean against the wall again. This will get another muscle, a deeper muscle in your calf there. If you don’t feel a good stretch of that, another option is sticking a towel underneath your foot. Kind of propping it up a little bit and the same type of motion."
