Roll Calves
Seated with both calves on a foam roller, lift the hips and roll slowly from the ankles to just below the knees.
How to do it
Setup
Seated, both calves across a foam roller, hands on the floor behind the hips.
Steps
- Lift the hips so the legs take the weight.
- Roll slowly from the ankles up to just below the knees.
- Turn the toes in or out to reach the sides of the calves.
Common mistakes
Rolling behind the knees: stop just below them. Racing up and down: go slowly enough to feel each spot. Tensing against a tender spot: pause, breathe out, let the calves soften.
Breathing
Steady throughout; never held.
