Hi, I'm Coach Morgan Johnson here at the Playtri Performance Center in Dallas, Texas. I'm a USA Triathalon Certified Coach, and today I'm going to show you how to do a dynamic stretch with a deep knee bend. So today, we're going to do a form of dynamic stretching with a deep knee bend. Dynamic stretching is great for all athletes. This is a really great way to warm up your quadriceps, hamstrings, and your Achilles tendon. The deep knee bend starts with a straight body, good posture, good torso and you're going to put your arms out in front of you for stability. Feet should be about hips width apart. Once you're ready you're going to continue looking straight forward and you're going to start to sit backward as if you're sitting in a chair. Make sure that your heels remain on the floor. Squat all the way down until your hamstrings make contact with your calf muscles. Once you're down pause for a moment and then come back up. You're going to do this repeatedly to get the dynamic portion of the stretch. The movement that's going to help activate your neuro-muscular system and get you ready for your workout. If you can't keep your heels on the ground because you have a tight Achilles tendon, one option is to get a book or some other kind of prop so that the ankles aren't forced to stretch as far. This way you can go all the way down without forcing the heels up off the ground. I'm Morgan Johnson and that was a dynamic stretch with a deep knee bend. See you next time.
