relax. Repeat 3 times. Stretches: Hamstrings, back of knees and

 

back.

 

2. Hamstring Stretch

groin.

 

3. Calf/Achilles Stretch

3

flat on the floor. Bend your front leg, lean forward and move your

hips toward the wall. Hold for 15 counts, then relax. Repeat 3 times

 

for each leg. To cause further stretching of the achilles tendons,

 

bend your back leg as well. Stretches: Calves, achilles tendons and

4

ankles.

4. Quadriceps Stretch
