Instructions
1. Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you.
2. Place a foam roller under one calf muscle.
3. Lean forward and place your hands on the floor behind you to support your weight.
4. Lift your hips slightly off the floor to apply pressure to your calf muscle on the foam roller.
5. Slowly roll your calf over the foam roller from just below your knee to just above your ankle.
6. When you find areas of tightness or discomfort, hold for a few seconds to apply more direct pressure.
7. Release and continue to roll slowly back and forth over the foam roller.
8. Switch legs and repeat the process for the other calf.
Make sure to roll both calves evenly to avoid creating imbalances. If you feel any sharp pain, stop the exercise and consult with a healthcare professional. The "Roll Calves" exercise is useful for improving flexibility and helping to relieve muscle tightness or soreness in the calves.
