How to do it

  1. 01

    Place your right heel on a step with your knee extended and lean forward to grab your right toe with your right hand. Your left knee should be slightly bent and your back should be straight.

  2. 02

    Support your weight on your left leg and place your left hand on your left thigh.

  3. 03

    Pull your right toes toward your knee until you feel a stretch in your calf.

In the app

Standing Gastrocnemius Calf Stretch needs no kit, so it appears whenever 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.

Same pattern, with kit

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