"Hi, I'm Chris Murray, and I'm going to tell you how to __________ (1) before a soccer game.

Another way to stretch your hamstrings would be for you to have your legs spread widely apart and then straight down to the middle touch the ground. This offers the same range of motion and gets the same __________ (6) just as keeping your feet together. Another stretch that is important to do is to stretch your quads. You can stretch your quads by pulling one leg up and holding your laces and keeping your ________ (7). You'll feel this stretch in the front of your leg where your quads are located. Another major stretch is to stretch your calves. Your calves are the lower part of your leg and are very important to stretch especially when you're running. Stretching your _________ (8) can be done by putting one leg forward and putting all of your balance forward as well.
