Flexibility & Mobility Exercises
Stretching is not warm-up. You must warm-up to stretch. Flexibility is part of each day’s workout. It is a very important component of performance, which must be trained properly. After workout is the best time to make flexibility gains. That is when you are warm. Spend at least 15 minutes daily going through your flexibility routine as part of your cooldown. Stretching at the end of workout will restore the muscles to their resting length and help alleviate soreness.
Stretching Procedure
In warm-up it is counterproductive to hold the stretch. The stretch should be active. The tempo of the stretch should be: Stretch, hold the stretch for one count, then relax – Repeat this two to three times at each position.
The cooldown is the time to hold the stretch. We recommend that you hold the hold end position for up to twenty seconds. Repeat each stretch two times.
