Calve stretch

When the weather heats up a lot of people will start cramping.  Cramping in the calves is one of the most common locations for cramps.  While stretching alone will not clear you of cramps it can help.  Dont forget to get plenty of fluids this week while it is heating up outside. 

Follow this easy to do video and you will have those calves stretched out in no time!!
