Calf Stretch
Give those calves the muscle stretching of their life! You should stretch your calves two ways with two different stretching exercises.
First is the usual way where you lean against a wall, step back with the leg to be stretched, knee straight, then keep your heel down and push your hips forward until you feel the stretching in your calf.
Second, keep the same position but bend your knee, which will give a better stretch to the soleus muscle and the achilles' tendon.

Very good suggestion, many people tend to overlook the soleus, which is another major muscle of the calf (and needs just as much streching)
