How to do it

  1. Stand on the middle of a band with the balls of your feet, or sit and loop it over your toes.
  2. Hold the ends at hip height to create tension.
  3. Push up onto your toes against the band.
  4. Lower slowly to a full stretch.
  5. Bands are light for calves - go for high reps and a hard squeeze rather than load.
