Exercise: Knee to Chest

  Print This Page  Send to a Friend

Walk

• As you begin walking, bring right knee to chest and touch heel to hamstring
• While left leg supports you, rise onto ball of foot; hold for two seconds
• Perform on opposite leg as you move in continuous fashion

Skip

• Same movement as above, but perform skipping instead of walking
• Hold will be quicker

Run

• Same movements as above, but perform running

Benefit: You overemphasize the range of motion for movements you typically perform in games and practices—like walking or running.
Coaching Point: Keep your foot dorsiflexed while you focus on stretching your glute.
