STRETCHING
Stretching should be included in both your warm up and cool down, and should be performed after 3-5
minutes of low intensity aerobic activity or callisthenic type exercise. Movements should be performed
slowly and smoothly, with no bouncing or jerking. Move into the stretch until slight tension, not pain, is felt
in the muscle and hold for 20-30 seconds. Breathing should be slow, rhythmical and under control,
making sure never to hold your breath.
HEAD ROLLS
Rotate your head to the right for one count, feeling
the stretch up the left side of your neck. Next rotate
your head back for one count, stretching your chin to
the ceiling and letting your mouth open. Rotate your
head to the left for one count, and finally, drop your
head to your chest for one count.
SHOULDER LIFTS
Lift your right shoulder up toward your ear for one
count. Then lift your left shoulder up for one count
as you lower your right shoulder.
SIDE STRETCHES
Open your arms to the side and continue lifting them
until they are over your head. Reach your right arm
as far upward toward the ceiling as you can for one
count. Feel the stretch up your right side. Repeat
this action with your left foot left arm.
QUADRICEPS STRETCH
With one hand against a wall for balance, reach
behind you and pull your right foot up. Bring your
