Hello Reader, Today, I want to share with you the top two incredible benefits of incorporating flexibility into your fitness routine:
Embrace flexibility as a key component of your fitness journey, and experience the transformative impact it can have on your health and performance. There are two main types of stretches:· Dynamic stretches are controlled movements that prepare your muscles, ligaments and other soft tissues for performance and safety. · Static stretches are those in which you stand, sit or lie still and hold a single position for period of time, up to about 45 seconds. Both types of stretches have different purposes and should be used at different times in your workout. I’ll explain more in another video. My mini-course, Stretching for Health and Fitness will guide you through a stretching routine that will get you looser, allow you to walk faster, and ultimately live longer. And, you’ll do this in the least amount of time. My brief video explains the course. In this course, I will only show you stretches that you’ll do from a standing position. The reason is simple; when we walk and do most other types of activities, we are standing. I don’t want to teach you stretches that require you to lie down on the ground… I feel that would be a friction point to you doing the stretches.
Walk on,
