Stretching, a key to maintaining flexibility, range of motion and power in athletes

For those looking for a good stretching protocol, here is a good place to start from... This packet includes some of the best and most simple stretches.  Remember, the key to a good stretch is a consistent, steady stretch (no bouncing) with a minimum of 20 second hold.  If you're not holding your stretch for 20 sec, you're not really elongating the muscle, and therefore no long term loosening of said muscle.  Repetitions should be 3-5 repetitions per day (1 rep is 20 sec hold on right, 20 sec hold on left... balance)  Consistency will bring the best results!  I see a lot of people get motivated, stretch good for few days, then fall off the boat.  You'll see noticeable results after 3 steady weeks.  Stick with it!
