How to perform this exercise

Place the forefoot of the stretching leg on a stable step edge, heel free and knee nearly straight. Place the other foot securely on the next tread for balance; lower the working heel gently below its step.
Hold a mild calf stretch without bouncing, then unload the leg and change sides. Use a handrail for balance if needed.
