Stretching Program: Full Body
This stretching program is for use in warming up or
cooling down and in stretch training. It is designed to
stretch all muscle groups with as few exercises as
possible.
If you use the stretching program in the warm-up or
cool-down phase, you should do the exercises only once
and not hold the positions for more than ten seconds. In
stretch training you can hold the positions for twenty
seconds or even longer. Always stretch the left and right
side of your body. Make sure that your breathing is
consistent, and concentrate on and relax the muscles
you’re working on.
- Stretching the neck muscles: Lean your head to one
side and pull your other arm down. The stretch can
be intensified by pushing your head down.
