Warm Up and Stretching
Warm Up and Stretching
Warm up by stretching for at least 5-‐10 minutes. When performing these
stretches, your movements should be smooth and slow, with no bouncing or
jerking. Move into the stretch un+l you feel a slight tension, not pain. Be sure not
to hold your breath. Remember that all stretches must be done for both sides of
your body.
Quadriceps Stretch
Stand close to a wall, chair or other solid object. Use one hand
to assist your balance. Bend your knee and bring your heel
toward your bufock. Reach for your ankle with your hand.
Stand up straight and feel a slight pull along the front of your
thigh and hip. Hold the stretch for 20-‐30 seconds, release and
repeat on the other leg. Be careful not to strain your knee -‐ the
goal is not to touch your heel to the bufock, but rather to
stretch the thigh.
Calf & Achilles Stretch
Stand about an arm‘s length from a wall , chair or other
sturdy object. Lean forward and place both hands on the wall
or object about shoulder width apart. Extend one foot (the
side to be stretched) behind you with your knee bent and
heel on the ground. Keep the other foot closer to the wall or
object. Lean in slightly and bend the knee of the heel to be
stretched (keeping the heel down) un+l you feel a stretch in
the back of the lower leg (just above the heel). Sink down
slowly with your hips to deepen the stretch.
Hold this stretch for about 30 seconds, release and repeat on
the other side
