"Hi, I'm Mandy Butler on behalf of Expert Village. I'm going to take you through a gymnastics class stretch and warm-up. From my pike stretch, I'm going to grab one ankle, bend this knee, grab this ankle, put my hands around my toes and gently, gently roll my ankle around. That really loosens up the joint. Tumbling is very hard on your ankles. Then, I'm going to go the other direction, make sure that I'm really working that ankle out, but I'm not forcing it. Go nice and slowly. Then, I'm going to press my ankle up and pull my toes forward. You can repeat that until you really feel like your ankle is ready to be pounded a little bit. So, then I'm going to put this foot back so I'm in a pike stretch again, and I'm going to repeat that same thing with my other leg. I'm going to roll this ankle around. I'm going to switch directions, roll it the other way. I'm going to press it forward and pull it down. Now my ankles are nice and stretched and I'm ready to put a little bit of pressure on them."
