Two More Great Stretches

Calf Stretch. Stand facing a wall and place your hands flat against the wall at shoulder level. Place your right foot in front of the wall and move your left foot back so your left heel is 8 to 15 inches behind the right. While keeping your back flat and your left leg straight, bend your right knee and gently lean toward the wall while pushing your left heel into the floor until you feel a stretch in the left calf. Now switch sides.

Hip Flexor Stretch. Get into a kneeling position with your left knee and shin flat on the floor and your right leg bent at a 90-degree angle with your right foot flat on the floor. Squeeze the muscles on the left side of your butt and shift your upper body forward until you feel a slight stretch in the left front hip. Next, raise your left arm straight up in the air, and then lean to the right until you feel a further stretch in the left side of your front hip. Switch sides.
