Stretching
10 minutes of each training session
Stand with your arms resting against a wall and your working leg stretched out behind you so that you feel a stretch in your calf muscle.

Stand on your left leg. If necessary, use your left hand to support yourself against the wall. Bend your right knee and wrap your right hand around the big toe side of your forefoot, so that the ankle is stretched and turned slightly outwards, bringing your heel towards your buttock and creating a gradual stretch along the inside of your shin. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Repeat the exercise, alternating between your right and left legs.
