Instructions
1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended straight in front of you.
2. Keep your back straight and upright.
3. Flex your feet, pulling your toes back towards your body to feel a stretch in your calf muscles and the back of the ankles.
4. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds, ensuring that you do not bounce your feet, but maintain a steady stretch.
5. Relax for a few seconds, then repeat 2-3 more times.
For additional intensity, you can use your hands to gently press down on your feet to deepen the stretch. However, be careful not to push too hard to prevent injury. Always stretch to the point of mild tension, not pain.
