Slant Board Gastroc & Soleus Stretch

Improves ankle flexibility and relieves calf tightness.

In today’s video, we’re demonstrating the Slant Board Calf Stretch — a targeted routine to enhance calf flexibility and relieve tension in both the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. Perfect for runners, athletes, or anyone looking to improve lower leg mobility!

Gastroc Stretch (00:03)

  1. Stand on a slant board with the balls of your feet, letting your heels drop below your toes.
  2. Keep your knees straight and lean forward to feel the stretch in your calves.
  3. Hold the stretch for 1 minute.
  4. Perform 3 sets for maximum benefit.

Soleus Stretch (00:21)

  1. Slightly bend your knees while staying on the slant board.
  2. Push your body forward to target the deeper soleus muscle.
  3. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds.
  4. Perform 3 sets to deepen flexibility.

This two-step stretch routine is ideal for reducing calf tightness, enhancing ankle mobility, and preventing lower leg injuries. Add it to your routine to keep your calves healthy and flexible!
