Instructions
1. Position: Begin by lying on your back on a flat surface with your legs extended.
2. Setup: Wrap the rope or strap around the ball of one foot. Hold the ends of the rope with both hands.
3. Execution: Keeping your leg straight, gently pull on the rope to bring your toes towards your body, stretching the calf muscle.
4. Hold: Hold the position for 15-30 seconds, keeping your leg as straight as possible to maintain tension in the calf.
5. Release: Release the tension slowly.
6. Repeat: Repeat the stretch for 2-3 sets or as needed.
7. Switch: Switch legs and repeat the stretch for the other calf.
Ensure that you keep the movements controlled and avoid jerking or bouncing, as this could lead to injury. The stretch should feel firm but not painful. If you feel any sharp pain, release the stretch slightly to a more comfortable position.
