Stretching the posterior thigh muscles:
Sit on the floor and stretch your right leg. Angle your left
leg so that the sole of your foot touches the inside of your
right thigh. Now bend forward as far as possible and try to
touch the toes on your right leg. Hold this position for 15
seconds. Then repeat the exercise with your left leg.
Stretching the inner thigh muscles:
Sit on the floor and bend your legs so that the soles of
your feet touch and your knees point outwards. Now pull
your feet as far as possible towards your body without
lifting them off the floor. Slowly press your knees down.
Hold this position for 15 seconds.
Side Stretching:
Stretch your arms upwards. Now try to stretch your right
arm upwards as far as possible, feeling your right side
being stretched. Hold this position for a moment. Then
repeat the exercise with your left arm.
Stretching the calf muscles and Achilles tendon:
Lean with your palms against a wall and place your right
foot as far back as possible with your knee pressed th-
rough. Your left leg is bent and your left knee is about be-
low your pelvis. Now move your hips towards the wall so
that you feel the stretch in your right calf. Do not lift your
heel while doing this. Hold this position for 15 seconds.
Then repeat the exercise with your left leg.
