Top ten stretch exercises no. 2
Hi!
Since my stretching exercise post is the second most popular blog post on this site, I thought it would be a good idea to make a second top 10 list.
But so here is my second (alternative) list of top 10 stretching exercises, targeting the exact same muscle groups as my first list.
1. Quadriceps stretch. This is the large muscles on the front of your upper legs, which you train by running and squatting and lunges and jumps and other exercises. Sit on your knees, then lean back your upper body until the back of your head touches the floor if you can reach that far.
4. Piriform/gluteus stretch. This stretches out the muscles in the butt. Sit on a chair. Put your right foot on your left knee, and bend forward trying to touch your nose to your toes. Try for about 15 seconds, then alternate.
6. Abdominal crossover stretch. Lie flat on your back and stretch both arms out to the side. Take your left hand, move your right knee over your flat body to the other side, and press with the hand to get the knee down to the ground while trying to keep your back to the ground. Alternate sides.

8. Lower back stretch: twist with hands on hips. Stand straight with legs hips width apart. Twist your upper body to one side as far as it will go, and keep it there for about 5 seconds. Then slowly change to the other side.
10. Shoulder stretch. Place both arms behind your back, lock your fingers, and try to get the locked arms as far up as possible. Keep the abdominals tight as well.

2. Calf muscle stretch: Toe lift. Find any stair or maybe use a step or even a large stone. Anything you can stand on the edge of and let your heels sink down.
3. Inner thigh stretch: sideways lunge. Stand with your legs wide apart, toes pointed slightly outwards,and lunge sideways, keeping one leg straight, the other one bent. Then alternate. If possible, stay down low with both knees bent when you are changing over. Try to keep your back straight!
4. Piriform/gluteus stretch. This stretches out the muscles in the butt. Sit on a chair. Put your right foot on your left knee, and bend forward trying to touch your nose to your toes. Try for about 15 seconds, then alternate.
5. Outer thigh stretch: Sit down with legs stretched out in front of you. Place the left foot over the right knee. Press your right elbow against the outside of the left knee and press, twisting your body.
Alternate sides. Oj! No picture yet!
6. Abdominal crossover stretch. Lie flat on your back and stretch both arms out to the side. Take your left hand, move your right knee over your flat body to the other side, and press with the hand to get the knee down to the ground while trying to keep your back to the ground. Alternate sides.
7. Abdominal stretch: lean over backwards. This sounds easier than it actually is for most people. Stand with your legs hipwidth apart and lean over backwards as long as you can get. NO, the picture is not wrong. You are standing up, not lying down.
