TRAINING PRESENTATION

GETTING STARTED

• WARM UP BEFORE STARTING STRETCHES – Slow walking, stair steps, square steps, or anything to start muscles moving before stretching – 2-3 minutes should do it.

• STAND IN A RELAXED POSITION – Head up, shoulders relaxed, knees bent slightly

• BREATH IN A RELAXED MANNER – Don’t hold your breath during stretches

• STRETCH AT YOUR OWN PACE – This is not a competition

• DO NOT BOUNCE ON YOUR FEET WHILE STRETCHING – May cause injury

• STRETCH JUST TO THE POINT OF TENSION – There should not be any pain

• IF IT HURTS; DON’T DO IT. Stretches should not be painful, skip any that hurt

• STRETCH AT LEAST DAILY AND BEFORE ANY STRENUOUS ACTIVITY – Stretching decreases the likelihood of an injury and increases blood flow to muscles
