I was looking for some exercises that help me warm up and at the same time stretch my muscles before going for my morning run. I found these Dynamic Stretches specially designed for runners.
The article explain the Stretches in a video, click here for the video.
The sequence goes like this:
- Toy Soldier
- Leg lifts – standing in one leg you move the other leg like a clock pendulum.
- Butt Kicks – not much to explain here, kick you butt with your foot.
- Pike Stretch – this is a more complicated one.. Check the video.
- Hacky Sack – bring one feet up to tough your opposite hand.
- Walking lunges.
