Tips for effective stretching

Stretching is the most important factor of exercising. Effective stretching helps prevent muscle pulls and tears.

 

The following are tips for effective stretching:

·         Run or walk on a treadmill, or ride a stationary bike to warm up your muscles before stretching.

·         Then, stretch all the basic muscle groups, including arms, buttocks, abs, neck, shoulders, legs, hips, and back.

·         Hold each stretch for at least 30 seconds with a soft amount of tension. Do not bounce in a stretch!

·         When stretching your muscle groups, you should not feel any pain.

·         After you have finished your cardiovascular or strength-building exercise, be sure to stretch out again as part of your cool-down.
