Good calf warm ups

[Dave Mac]

I find after a short while my right calf cramps up. normally after a while of jogging about it sorts itself out. I've got into a habit of giving my calves a long massage after a game to stop them killing the next day, but any good warm up tips for the calves?

thanks for these Andy, had no calf problems all game and today I'd normally feel stiff as a board in the calves but completely fine.

Skins compression!......i wear the calf guards and the half tights for the hamstring either during or after games/sessions - wonderful!

Since wearing them, my calf/hamstring recovery is brill and used with good stretches if really effective!

Good calf warm ups - do you stretch them until you can really "veal" it?

Mitch, that is awful!!!

I only warm the calves up if it's Fresian...

Seriously, I tend to do a really thorough massage with rubbing oils before the game. I spend more time doing that than actually stretching them.
