Get Hot
So the easiest way to stretch is when your hot and no I don’t mean the attractive kind of hot I mean the after you have just been for a run kind of hot. Now you don’t need to go for a run you could just do a quick sprint even in your backyard a couple of times.
Start off with some Stretches
Now to start off with the splits style stretch until you really start to feel it and you don’t want to go down anymore and hold that for roughly one minute. Then turn to the side and hold it for thirty seconds and turn to the other side and hold onto that for thirty seconds. Now go back to the splits style stretch and hold that for another minute or so this time you should be able to go lower. After this shake your legs out for thirty seconds or so.
Rising Kicks
Now it is time to start doing some rising kicks. Start out doing ten front rising kicks of one leg going as high as you can without injuring yourself then swap legs. Then after you have done that go onto side rising kicks doing ten off each leg then lastly go onto back rising kicks again doing ten off each leg.
Other Tips
Now it is a good idea to do some squats and some one legged squats as sometimes the only reason you can’t kick higher is because your supporting leg isn’t strong enough. Also it is a very good idea to do some core training especially if you want to get those turning kicks and side kicks a lot higher.
