Calf Stretches

The most common stretch performed on a slant board is the calf stretch.

How To

Stand with both feet firmly on the wedges with straight legs.
Slowly tip forward to touch your toes.
You will feel the stretch on your calves and down through your hamstring muscles.
Hold the pose for somewhere between 30secs to a minute (the tighter the muscles, the longer the hold needed to loosen them).

Benefits

Increase flexibility and range of motion in the hips.
Prevents muscle tears.
Increases athleticism.
