Primary muscles: Calves

How to do it

  1. This exercise stretches the fascia of the muscles in the feet. Start off seated with your shoes removed. Using a foot roller or a similar object, such as a small section of pvc pipe, place your foot against the roller across the arch of your foot. This will be your starting position.
  2. Press down firmly, rolling across the arch of your foot. Hold for 10-30 seconds, and then switch feet.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Foot-SMR from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Calves volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
