The other leg can be suspended mid air or placed light on the toe if your balance is challenged.
3) Use a wall, pole of other upright support for balance but try not to cling on.
Perform instructions

2) Squeeze calf at the top.
3) Lower slowly and ensure full calf stretch at the bottom. Range of motion is key here.
4) Repeat.
