High Kick Stretching

This is the simplest yet most effective stretch you can do throughout the day. A high front kick stretches everything from your hamstrings to calves, Achilles tendon, and the sole of your foot in one motion.

How To Do It

  1. Stand and balance on one foot.
  2. Kick the other foot forward and up (like a taekwondo front kick).
  3. Pull your toes up while kicking for better effect.
  4. Do 5-10 kicks per side, multiple times a day.

My Experience

I'd stand up from my desk and do high kicks throughout the day. People looked at me funny at first, but this alone prevented my feet from getting stiff all day.
