Stretching Program: Full Body
  This  stretching  program  is  for  use  in  warming  up  or
  cooling  down  and  in  stretch  training.  It  is  designed  to
  stretch  all  muscle  groups  with  as  few  exercises  as
  possible.
    If  you  use  the  stretching  program  in  the  warm-up  or
  cool-down  phase,  you  should  do  the  exercises  only  once
  and not hold the positions for more than ten seconds. In
  stretch  training  you  can  hold  the  positions  for  twenty
  seconds  or  even  longer.  Always  stretch  the  left  and  right
  side  of  your  body.  Make  sure  that  your  breathing  is
  consistent,  and  concentrate  on  and  relax  the  muscles
  you’re working on.

   1. Stretching the neck muscles: Lean your head to one
      side and pull your other arm down. The stretch can
      be intensified by pushing your head down.
