THANKS SO MUCH!! i did a hard 400 metre repeat session yesterday and after my right calf started to cramp up and was so tight. i did the classic calf stretches but they didnt work. Then i tried the foot stretch at the beginning of the video that also stretches the soleus or the lower calf muscle and i felt the pain release after a minute of doing this stretch! so helpful thanks so much and hopefully it stays this way!

[EddieDBama]

WOW! I was looking for something to work on my plantar fascia, and BOOM! Y'all delivered with the quadruped stretch.  Muy Serioso!  Great video gents!

[Schmelliottt]

Me being a Gopher track athlete with the worst calves on the planet this really helped and I appreciate you guys!

[vasocreta]

Really nice video. Some great stretches that I was not aware of.
I would be curious to hear your thoughts on Active Isolated Stretching, especially concerning newer research and techniques that suggest that the > 10 second stretch is counterproductive vs. a series of 2 second stretches.
I am really new to the Active Isolated Stretching technique, but have found that a greater range of motion is achieved with this technique than with the more traditional extended hold (10+ seconds) that we are accustomed to.
Thanks for sharing, guys.

How did you guys meet you should make a video about it lol ??? You two are great

[mariawilson]

I was in pain after doing a few sets less pain, thank you both xxx

[beamboy]

Foam rolling calf muscles helps my chronic foot pain quite a bit. Wished they discussed how calf muscles can cause foot pain more.

[deidraproctor]

Jumped rope and couldn't believe the pain in my calves...ouch!!! Thanks for the info!

[cathyhorvitz]

Great video! If you have active plantar fascia pain should you use the quadruped plantar fascia stretch that you demonstrate? Would it further tear the fascia which is already damaged? Can fascia actually stretch? Thanks so much!
