    Calf stretch (both knees bent)

    1. Stand facing a wall with your hands on the wall. You can also do this with your hands on the back of a chair, a counter, or a tree.
    2. Put one leg about a step behind your other leg, with your toes pointing forward.
    3. Keeping both heels on the floor, bend both knees. Then gently bring your hip and chest toward the wall until you feel a stretch in the calf of your back leg.
    4. Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds.
    5. Repeat 2 to 4 times for each leg.
