Set-up

• Sit on ground with legs fully extended and toes pointing up
• Loop band/towel around arch of one foot to create tension
• Place hands on each side of band/towel with palms facing inward

• Pull band toward you, keeping toes pointed up
• Point toes away from body against band resistance
• Repeat for 30 seconds [15-20 reps each way]; rest 20 seconds
• Switch band to other foot; repeat stretch
• Perform 3 sets on each foot

Coaching Points: Pull your foot towards you pretty snug to create your flexion. When pointing toes away, make sure you follow through as far as you can go; and while leaning back, keep your back straight and eyes focused forward. Also, remember to breathe throughout the exercise.
