Dynamic Stretch: Straight Leg Run

Number 5 of 7 is the straight leg run. This is excellent for the hamstrings and also adds the leg movement used during sprinting. Add it to your routine today.

5.) Straight Leg Run- Run while keeping your legs in a locked position. Keep your feet in front of your body. Your feet should contact ground in front of hips. All weight should be placed on the ball of the foot. Perform for 8-10 reps and then jog it out for 10 yards. This mimics the leg movement during top speed sprinting.

Train Better, Train Speed Boosters.
