Gravity Drop

How to Perform this E-cise™

1. Wearing rubber soled shoes for traction (tennis shoes, etc.) stand on a step or stairway as though you were climbing upward
• Keep your feet parallel, and hip width apart
• Hold onto a railing or other object for support
2. Edge your feet backward until your heels are off the stairs and you are hanging onto the stair with the balls of your feet
• Make sure the your feet remain pointed straight ahead
3. Let the weight of your body drop your heels off the stair
• You will feel a significant stretch in your lower legs
4. Hold as directed on your menu

What this E-cise™ does

• The key is to keep your hips over your heels and your shoulders in line with your hips
• Keep your weight back on your heels, so that you have to hold on to something to stay upright

Fun Facts

• As the calf stretches you may feel one more than the other, what you are feeling is the rotation your body is exhibiting. As the rotation is removed you will start to feel the stretch equal on both sides.
