Heel and Achilles Tendon Stretch

A warm-up exercise to perform before running or participating in sports.  This stretches the Achilles tendon as well as calf muscles.  If you have heel pain (plantar fasciitis), this stretch may help alleviate the pain.  You don’t need to go to a health club or gym to do this exercise, it can be performed while sitting in your office or waiting in the coffee line, or even during a walk in the park.
