5. Heel and Toe

Like the Rock ‘n Grip, this exercise also immensely helps the calves. But it also stretches the front of the lower leg, making it best for runners or before a cardio workout. For an intense version of this stretch, put the balls of your feet on the edge of a step with your heels sticking out off of it. If you have balance problems, consider loosely holding on to something higher up that’s near you.

How to do it: Stand with your feet flat on the floor. Lift your heels, standing on the balls of your feet. Hold one second. Then lower back to flat foot position. Then lift front of foot up and stand on heels. Repeat 8 times.
