Familiar Types of Flexibility Exercises:
- Static Stretching: Slowly stretching a muscle/ tendon group for a period of time
- Dynamic or slow-moving stretching: Involves a gradual transition from one body part to the next while progressively increasing your reach and range of motion as the movement is repeated
How often should we stretch?
A minimum of 2-3 days per week with daily being the most effective. While stretching you want to stretch to the point of slight discomfort but no pain. Each stretch should be held for 10-60 seconds. Each major muscle group should be targeted with each stretch performed 2-4 times.
