Neck-Stretching

Turn your head left, right, up and down, holding your position at each direction for about 8 seconds. Do not do the head rotation technique as it can be harmful to your neck!

Arms’ stretching

Put either one of your arms over your head, your hand should be gripping onto your shoulder. With your other arm, grab your elbow and pull it towards the opposite side of the arm that you are stretching.

Cross one of your hands over to the opposite side. Then use your other hand to pull your extended hand’s elbow towards you.

These two stretching techniques should be enough to stretch all the needed muscles in

your hand.

Wrist stretching

Just rotate your wrist in a circular motion, remember, this is important as it decreases the chances of getting wrist aches while doing the sport.

Waist StretchingPut your hands on your waist and rotate your waist (Not your butt) in a circular motion. This warms up your waist muscles, enabling you to perform quick action turns while doing the activities without experiencing pain.

Legs stretchingFold your legs up to your thighs in a backward manner, this ought to loosen up the front muscles on your thighs.

Repeat the same as above but just accept that you bend it in a frontward manner to loosen up the back muscles in your thighs.

Raise one leg to a tip-toe position and rotate it slowly, this basically warms up your ankle, and is essential for sprain preventions.

Spread your legs out straight, with one leg in front and the other behind, this stretches your thigh muscles as well and can be used as a second thigh stretching method.

*Complex one!* Lie flat on the ground with one leg V-shaped and remain on the ground for 10 secs. This is extremely useful for stretching your whole legs.

THATS ALL FOLKS.
