How to do it

  1. 01

    Loop a belt, rope, or band around one foot. Sit down with both legs extended . This will be your starting position.

  2. 02

    Leaning forward slightly, pull on the belt to draw the toes of your foot back. Hold this position for 10-20 seconds and then repeat with the other leg.

In the app

Seated Hamstring and Calf Stretch appears when you own the kit it needs and the day's window has room for it. Its minutes come from Rule 2 (Sessions are built to fit, never guaranteed, graded product): the window sets how long it runs, never the other way round.

If a machine is taken the engine swaps a same-pattern movement and says why.

If you don't have the kit it needs

Same movement pattern, same primary muscles — swap by what you have.
