Muscle Group Stretch: ?LOWER LEG? ?Gastrocnemius, Achilles Tendon, Soleus? ✅Benefits of Lower Leg Stretching:✅ ⬇️ Decrease leg cramps ⬆️ Increase blood flow ? Prevent lower leg injuries ⬇️ Decrease muscle soreness. . ✅Best Time to Stretch✅ ? Right when you wake up ?‍♂️ Before AND After Exercise ? During a muscle cramp ? Before bed after a long day of walking . 1️⃣ Lunge Stretch: This stretch is minimally invasive and a great initial stretch that focuses on the lower muscle attachments. Grab your door frame for support, and lean into your front foot until you feel the stretch in your calf. . 2️⃣ Double Heel Drop: Put the ball of your foot and toes on a ledge and let your body weight push drop your heels. Any ledge will work, stairs or the sidewalk curb are great for this stretch. If you need a little extra stability, make sure to choose something close to a wall or railing for extra support. . 3️⃣ Single-Leg Heel Drop: Keeping one foot off the ground allows more weight for a deeper stretch. . 4️⃣ Toes-to-Frame: This stretch has the same concept as the lunge stretch; however, it allows for a more intense and deeper stretch. If you're recovering from an injury, use the "Lunge Stretch" until it becomes easy. When you're ready for a challenge, give the "Toes-to-Frame" a try! . Ft.
