Yoga for football players complements training on the pitch with leg stretches and hip mobility exercises. Hip mobility matters for a long stride, changes of direction and drawing your leg back to kick the ball. You'll practice lunges and forward bends, stretch your thigh muscles and engage your core.
In this 15-minute class, you'll practice “Deep Low Lunge”, “Seated Forward Bend” and “Hamstring Stretch with a Strap”. A seated forward bend stretches the backs of your legs. Fold forward smoothly, without jerking. You'll finish with a rest lying down.
After an intense game, choose your level of effort according to how you feel and avoid forcing stretches in sore muscles. After an injury, choose a recovery program tailored to your needs.
