I've always been more flexible with my right leg but now I need my left leg heel stretch and I'm having some trouble. I can kick up to the heel stretch but it's really low. I'm seeing some progress but not as much as I'd like. I always warm up with basic stretches before I go into the actual stretching. I try and stretch at least twice a day for an hour each time I stretch.
Right now for stretches I:
- Hold left splits for 1 minute (I'm not quite all the way down yet. I can go all the way down but not consistantly.)
- Lay on my back and pull up my heel stretch leg and hold for 1 minute.
- Go against a wall and have someone lift my leg as high as it will go and hold for 1 minute.
- Go into a doorway and put my left foot as high as it can go and hold it for 1 minute.
- Sit down and pull my leg up as high as I can and hold it.
- Use a chair for balance while standing and pulling it as high as it can go.
Does anyone have any other stretches that will help improve my heel stretch?
