Stretching

If you are in taekwondo you will need to get flexible for those high kicks. So before you stretch you will need to warm up. The warmer you are the easier it will be to stretch.

So, before stretching do about 

40 jumping jacks

10 push ups 

10 sit ups 

So now its time to stretch, first we will stretch the thighs. So sit with your feet in front of you toes and knees pointing up and try to touch your toes. Do all these stretches for about 30 seconds or more.

The next stretch you will put one leg behind you and the other one in front of you. Then you want to bend your front leg. Now put some pressure on the back leg so you can feel a stretch. After that you will switch legs. Don't over stretch or you might rip some tissue or muscles.

Now sit with your butt touching the wall and your feet pointing up. Then let your feet slide as far as they can down the wall put some pressure by pushing down on your legs.

Now try to do a split go down until it hurts then go up a little. Then hold for 30 or more seconds.
