Knee to Box Calf Stretch
In a split stance with the hands on a box, drive the front knee forward toward the box while that heel stays down, then rock back; the lower calf and the ankle open.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a box, hands on its top, the front foot flat a short step from it, the back foot a stride behind on its toes.
Steps
- Bend the front knee and push it forward past the toes toward the box.
- Let the hands on the box steady you, the front heel flat.
- Rock back and repeat, then switch legs.
Common mistakes
Front heel peeling up: shorten the distance to the box until it stays down. Knee caving inward: aim it over the middle toes. Bouncing the knee into the box: slow rocks with a pause at the front.
Breathing
Exhale as the knee travels forward, inhale coming back.
