Get More Flexible
What are the Basics?
Flexibility Training It’s important to remember a few basics when beginning a stretching regime so that you don’t injure your muscles in the process. Remember the following:
Always Warm Up. Don’t stretch “cold” muscles. This can increase your risk of pulling muscles. A warm up can be as simple as walking or any other low intensity exercise for a few minutes.
Avoid Short Changing Your Stretch. Hold each stretch for a minimum of thirty seconds so that you can lengthen the muscle properly and safely.
Avoid Bouncing. Ballistic stretching can be very dangerous because it often causes the muscles to tear. Instead, hold your stretches static to get the best, safest stretch.
