I recently did a seminar with the amazing folks at Athlete's Performance in Arizona (www.athletesperformance.com) who stress upon stresses the amazing benefits of THE WORLD'S GREATEST STRETCH and HAND-WALKS. Considering these guys train the most elite players of all sports during the off-season, you have no reason not to believe them. I paid over $600 to learn this 2-minute booster...but you, lucky dears, get it for free. Performed before the start your workout, this is the most important and easiest thing you can do to improve your performance in the gym.
The World's Greatest Stretch
- take a large step forward with you left leg and get into a lunge position
- bend down, take your left elbow and place it against the instep of your left foot, while your right knee remains bent and off the floor behind you; pause, momentarily
- take your left elbow away from your instep, place your left hand on the floor outside your left foot
- push your hips to the ceiling, straighten both legs as much as possible (back leg will straighten more) and left the toes of your left foor toward your shin
- stand up and lunge forward with your right leg and repeat. That's one repetition: do 10.
Hand-Walks:
- start in a push-up position, keep your knees straight and walk your feet toward your hands
- your hips will rise toward the ceiling and as you feel a stretch in your hamstrings, start walking your hands out into a push-up position, again. That's one repetition: do 10. Each time trying to place your hands further ahead of you.
By giving your muscles the mobility and stability provided by these exercises, you are supporting the rest of your workout...and improving your flex-uality...and that, my lucky dears, is never boring.
