    This is what I found:

    * Standing, you may want to use a hand on a wall or other support for balance.
    * Place the foot to be stretched just behind your other foot (which remains squarely on the ground), with the toe of the stretching foot touching the ground. (I think this means with the top of your toes on the ground, bending forward)
    * Keeping your toe firmly on the ground, pull the stretching leg forward so you feel a stretch from the top of your stretching foot through your shins. It often helps to bend both knees slightly.
    * Once you feel a good stretch, hold it for 15-30 seconds.
    * Repeat with the other foot.

    I tried it and it seemed to stretch the right area.
