Stretching

"I was stretching outside on a slight slope because it was the only grassy place available. I was amazed at the difference this made compared to flat ground.

1. The kneeling lunge stretch facing up hill forces you to keep most of your weight on the back leg and really targets the hip flexor.

2. The tactical frog facing up hill forces your weight back, which is great, especially when you do the turn over rotation part of the move.

3. The front split facing up hill puts a greater stretch on the hams… The front split facing downhill is a whole different story. Talk about a hip flexor focus —wow. Note the hill was not very steep, just a slight rise. Try it, you will like it."
