Dynamic stretch glutes

Coach Dan Speaks:

Dynamic glute stretches are crucial for basketball players to activate and loosen up their glute muscles before hitting the court. Including this exercise in your training routine will improve hip mobility, enhance explosive movements, and help prevent muscle imbalances and injuries. Begin by standing upright and then grab your ankle with one hand and your knee with the other hand. Pull your ankle and knee up towards your chest, feeling a stretch in your glute muscles. Hold for a moment and then release, alternating sides with each repetition. Focus on maintaining proper form and performing the stretch in a controlled and fluid manner. This dynamic stretch targets the glutes and prepares them for the demands of basketball movements such as jumping, running, and changing directions. Remember to incorporate the dynamic glute stretch into your warm-up routine to optimize your performance and minimize the risk of injuries.
