Here is the stretching routine we have been using in our Base Training program.  If you have your own routine, double check it against this one and fill in any gaps there might be.  Conversely, if you see something you think is missing or you would like us to add, let me know.
 
Move slowly into position and then hold each stretch for at least two deep breathes in and out.  Hold the stretch, not your breath!
