First of all, there are different ways and times to stretch, before or after doing exercise, or for how long you should keep the stretch. We will go through this below, followed by the stretches we suggest for different situations!
STATIC STRETCH
A minimum of 30 sec is required, the muscle needs this time to relax and start to lengthen. You can hold the stretch up to 60 sec.
This stretching technique is chosen after you’ve done a workout.
DYNAMIC STRETCH
Move into the stretch slowly and smooth, stay there for 5-10 sec and then release again. Repeat this stretching for 5-10 times.
This stretching technique is chosen before your workout to warm up your muscles.
RELAXATION
Before you begin stretching, start with this exercise to calm you down. It will also help you to lay your focus on your body and it will free your mind. Lie on your back, your knees are bent and your feet are flat on the ground.
Place your hands on your belly, and breath in for 4 seconds and out for other 4 seconds, follow your breath all the way down and feel your hands raising… and going down again...
Repeat this for 2-3 minutes
