Downward Facing Dog
This basic yoga pose is a great calf stretch.
- Begin in a plank pose with your hands under your shoulders and lift your pelvis up making a V with your body. Spread your fingers wide. If you have wrist issues simple use a closed fist.
- Work on bringing your heels toward the ground.
- Alternate your feet, to deepen the stretch as well.
- Hold for 30 – 60 seconds.

Love it and look forward to the videos! Congrats on the gym! It will be amazing, I am sure. Thank you for the stretch pointer. I have always been curious on how to do this.
I just joined a free gym -couple days a week. Two more days a week I dance for 5 hrs a day. Trying to get a firmer body. Iv’e lost 50 lbs but would like to lose another 25 in another 6 months. I enjoy your emails. Keeps me going.
That is a great goal and great progress you’ve made Diana! Congratulations!
