WARM UP & COOL DOWN STRETCHES Stretches can help improve flexibility and relieve the tightness in muscles that results from repetitive sport movements that require a limited range of motion. 10 to 12 minutes of daily stretching is recommended. This can be done when warming up or cooling down. When performing these stretches, your movements should be slow and smooth, with no bouncing or jerking.

Gently bend from the waist flexing your body as far forward as it will go. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds. Straighten up and repeat. 5. Standing Hamstrings Stretch Stand with your legs hip-width apart. Extend one leg out in front of you and keep that foot flat against the ground.
