This static stretching routine starts from the ankles and works all the way up to the neck. Whilet optional, we recommend doing this routine when you are already warm, so either after a workout or after completing a short warm-up - e.g. a light walk or jog - so that blood is flowing. Each stretch should be held for 30-45 seconds. If the stretch does just one limb, ensure that you switch to the other side. Hold each stretch in a comfortable range without bouncing.
