Extend one leg in front of you with the foot flexed. Bend your
other knee and lean back slightly. Your pelvis should be tilted
forward. Keep your upper body upright as you hold the stretch for
10-20 seconds, then switch sides.You should feel the stretch up the
back of your extended leg (all the way up your calf and
thigh).NOTE: Your supporting leg may get tired, as you have to
balance your weight on it.
