Move Better
Flexibility Training
Flexibility training improves your range of motion, reduces injury risk, and enhances performance in other activities. It's often neglected but is crucial for long-term health and movement quality.
Key Principles for Flexibility
Master these fundamentals for optimal results
Consistency
Stretch daily or at least 3-4 times weekly. Flexibility is lost faster than it's gained.
Hold Duration
Hold static stretches for 30-60 seconds. Shorter holds are less effective for flexibility gains.
Breathe & Relax
Deep breathing helps muscles relax and allows deeper stretching.
Progressive Range
Gradually increase stretch depth over time. Don't force positions that cause pain.
