Warm Up • Stretching • You must stretch your hamstrings, quadriceps, calf muscles, groin muscles and lower back • We use static stretches • An optional stretch is jogging for 1 minute, which is a dynamic stretch • Warm Ups are also used as cool down’s • It is important not to strain your muscles too much in these stretches
Hamstrings • Hamstrings are one of the three thigh muscles or tendon’s that make up the back of your thigh • To stretch your hamstrings sit down and pull one foot to your inner thigh • Stretch your other leg out and touch it for 10 seconds
Quadriceps • These are large muscle groups located in the front of your thigh • They are also called the four headed muscle • To stretch this muscle hold your ankle and lift your leg so that your ankle is touching your body and your knee is bent • Hold this position for 10 seconds on each leg
Calf Muscle • This is the part of your leg behind your shin • The calf muscle is also known as the three headed muscle • To stretch this muscle use a partner to lean your hands against • Put on leg in front of the other and bend your front leg • Keep your back leg straight and keep on bending your front leg until you feel your calf stretching • Hold this position for 10 seconds
Groin Muscles • This is a muscle where your legs and torso are joined • To stretch this muscle do the butterfly stretch • This involves sitting down and bending your legs into your body horizontally • To stretch this muscle push down on your knees so that you feel a strain in your groin muscle
Lower Back • Lower Back muscles are situated around the spine allowing movement • To stretch your lower back sit down with your legs straight out in front of you • Cross one leg over the other so that it is bent • Twist your upper body so that your shoulder is touching your knee
