Looneyas Posted February 23, 2003 Share Posted February 23, 2003 I have been doing this one for 6 weeks Morning stretches Dynamic stretchs every morning that involves 5 sets of leg raises to front and back side around 10 each. If you search using a search engine on dynamic stretches u will get massive amounts of info. At night i do Isometric stretches 300 Kicks to bag as a warm up (Thanks kickchick im so sore from that warm up works a sweet) The i have a pully set up so i can do Isometric stretches for my side splits and it works i have good pressure, Then i do calf stretches then my hamstrings this is by a chair and chest on leg, Then u push leg down to get a good Isometric stretch. Thighs and hips are left. This is a very hard nightly stretch routine but with care and the correct warm up, It wont take long , My gains in 6 weeks are amazing. I am doing log of every day when i stretch on how i feel and progress. Best advice is learn to look foward to stretching and enjoy it. ( search on Kickchick topic as she has a wealth of info, helped me out heaps and i know she will help when asked. ) Learn and u shall TeachTeach and you shall learn,https://www.southpacifictkd.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
