Athletic Training Cool Down Tips

Video Transcript

Stretches Through the Hips and for the Lower Body - Grab yourself plenty of space. Bring your feet out as comfortable as you can feel in your inner thigh muscles. We're going to take both hands together. We're just going to reach down the leg and come on down as far as we can. Once we're down here, we like to hold as long as we can and start to focus on your breath. If I'm going to take a side angle here, I want you to come down both hands towards your toe. You're going to take a deep breath in and exhale. Each time you're going to try to feel that your torso wants to lay on top of your leg. Hold it for about 3 to 5 to 7 deep breaths, depends on how hot you are and how much you need to cool down. Inhale to come up to work over to the other side with the exhale down. Again, hold for a number of breaths, the same number of breaths that you did on the previous leg. Inhale to come up to switch, exhale down. Still both hands are together, reaching for the back wall. Inhale to bring yourself up. Then we're going to bring both hands behind. You want to squeeze your hands together, like so. Once you have your hands squeezed together, you want to try to straighten your arms by pressing down. Push your hips forward, squeeze your shoulder blades together and lean back. Exhale. Tighten up your abdominals, come forward. Then you have a nice, even stretch through the hips, working through legs and the hip flexors.
