              - Stand facing a wall with your hands on the wall. You can also do this with your hands on the back of a chair, a counter, or a tree.
        
      
- Put one leg about a step behind your other leg, with your toes pointing forward.

- Hold the stretch for 15 to 30 seconds.
        
      
- Repeat 2 to 4 times for each leg.
