Stretching exercise 1

Open your hands and place them flat on the ground, roughly the same width as your shoulders, and take big steps with your front and back legs.

Slowly press your hips down to form a bow and arrow shape, with your thigh parallel to the ground and your back leg standing on tiptoes and stretching as much as possible. Hold this position for 5 seconds, then lift your hips and repeat. Switch legs and do 10 times on each side. You can finish one side first and then do the other side.

Stretching Exercise 2

Sit down, put your hands behind your back, bend your knees, and bring your calves as close to your thighs and buttocks as possible.

Slowly lie down until your body is completely flat on the ground, with your hands flat on your sides. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds and do it once a day. When stretching, pay attention to feeling the thigh and calf muscles stretching. The closer the calf is to the thigh and buttocks, the greater the stretch. However, you should avoid excessive stretching according to your physical condition.
