Zenmarkt® Foot and Calf Stretcher Strap for Dancers, Yoga and Gymnastics
$17.96 $21.96
A better foot and calf stretch than a towel, in a strap that fits in any bag.
Dancers, runners and yogis all need flexible calves, ankles and arches. This Zenmarkt® foot and calf stretcher cradles the foot and gives you loops to hold, so you can ease into each stretch and control exactly how deep it goes.
Why customers love it
- Cradles the foot. A shaped foot cradle holds the strap in place, so it doesn't slip off like a towel.
- Six loops, many levels. Hold a closer loop for a gentle stretch or a farther one to go deeper.
- Two ways to use it. Turn the cradle around to stretch the arch, calf, hamstring or quad.
- Strong and simple. Durable nylon webbing with sturdy stitching, and nothing to set up.
- Goes anywhere. Light enough to keep in a dance bag, gym bag or suitcase.
"This is easy to figure out, and the stitching is strong." Verified Zenmarkt customer
Three easy stretches to start
- Seated calf stretch. Sit with one leg straight, put the ball of your foot in the cradle and gently pull the loops toward you. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds.
- Lying hamstring stretch. Lie on your back, place your foot in the cradle and slowly raise the straight leg, walking your hands up the loops.
- Lying quad stretch. Lie on your stomach, loop the strap around your foot and gently draw your heel toward your hip.
Warm up first, ease in slowly and never bounce. A stretch should feel like a pull, never pain. If you have an injury or ongoing foot or leg pain, check with your doctor or physical therapist before you start.
Who it's for
Dancers working on pointed feet and flexible calves, runners, gymnasts, and anyone who stretches after workouts or yoga.
Colors
Blue or black.
