Lower Leg: Lets cut the lower leg into front and back. The front of the leg has the main muscle called Tibialis Anterior.  Usually the right side is tighter from the gas pedal, yet the left side could be if you drive stick shift or motorcycle. To stretch the tibialis anterior= roll your toes under and stand on the front of your foot- well put weight on it.  To stretch the back of your calf= put your toe pad on a step or curb, than slowly allow your heel to drop. Or a wide lunge sometimes helps to stretch it.   To strengthen the back of your calf muscle= stand on that step or curb and slowly raise and lower your heel. So you look like you are standing on your tip toes, than stretching your calf. |
