PNF Streaching

PNF stretching was when we got into pairs and stretched our Hamstrings and Our shoulder joint muscles. This exercise will help your flexibility.

Hamstrings

To strech our hamstrings one of the pair layed with there back on the floor leaving there legs flat on the floor then you lift one leg and your partner moves your leg up until you can feel it starting to strech then you push just past that the partner holding the leg gets a steady positition then the person on the floor pushes with that leg against there partner for 8 seconds then one partner moves the leg further up and reapeats the process on both legs.

Shoulders

For our shoulders one person sat in the pike position but there arms out to the side the partner puts one knee in the partners back then pull back the one sitting downs arms back until they can feel there natural limit they put it back just a bit further back then the person tries to push forward while the partner is resisting and hopefully keeping the others arms still and resisted
