Calves-SMR

Foam roll Calves

The Calves-SMR is a stretching movement that targets your calves. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Calves-SMR

  1. Sit on the floor with the foam roller under one calf, hands behind you for support.
  2. Lift your hips off the ground so your bodyweight loads the calf onto the roller.
  3. Slowly roll from just above the ankle to just below the knee, pausing on tight spots.
  4. Rotate the leg inward and outward to hit different portions of the muscle.
