Stretching

15 minutes of each training session

Lie on your back. Hold the back of your knee with both hands. Pull your working leg up towards your head, so that you feel a gradual stretch in your hamstring. Perform the exercise with both a straight and a bent knee. Hold the stretch for 20 seconds. Then do the same exercise on the other leg.

Attach an exercise band 10 cm above floor level. Stand with your side facing the exercise band, with the working leg closest to the band. Place the band around the working leg. Position the band between the knee and the ankle (the lower the position, the greater the resistance). Slowly move the leg to the side (in front of the supporting leg) so that the band tightens. Hold the tension for a few seconds and slowly return the leg to the starting position.

An exercise band is attached to a heavy chair leg. Sit on the floor with your leg stretched out, with the outside of your training foot aligned with the leg of the chair. Loop the exercise band around the front of your foot (on the inside). Slowly turn your foot inwards towards your other foot so that the band tightens. Hold the tension for a few seconds and move slowly the foot back to the starting position. Do not rotate the knee.
