Ankle Stretch - warm up This is less of a stretch and more of a movement to help loosen up the ankle joint. The ankle joint is subjected to a large number of impacts during many weight-bearing exercises, therefore this warm up technique is ideal if you intend to run or jog for an aerobic or cardio workout.             How to do the Ankle Joint Stretch* Sit down on a comfortable, sturdy chair and lift the right leg up with the knee pointing outwards. Grab hold of your leg with your right hand just above the ankle joint. Using your left hand hold the bottom of your right foot firmly. Now pull the foot slowly towards your stomach area while relaxing the right ankle joint and foot, hold for 5 seconds. Now gently push the foot the opposite way, again hold for 5 seconds. Now rotate the ankle around clockwise in a slow and gentle manner. Repeat for the left ankle joint.   * Remember it's much safer to under stretch than to overstretch. Always remain within the comfortable stretch zone. Never go to the point where you cannot possibly stretch any more as this could do more harm than good! If you feel any pain or discomfort at any stage of the stretch then stop the stretch immediately! Never force a stretch even if you are attempting to increase flexibility.   The cool down period after training is just as important as the warm up How to warm up thoroughly before any exercise to lose weight Hamstring stretch to lower injury when running Stretching the Chest & upper body for exercise Lower back stretch to limber up the spine Thigh stretching before running or walking Calf muscle stretch to warm up lower legs Cobra stretch for the stomach muscles Shoulder and Triceps stretch in one Stretching around the groin area Stretching the shoulder muscles The upper back lat stretch A stretch for the hip joint Stretch for the butt muscle The neck stretch
