Stretching is an activity that should be performed both at the beginning and at the end of
intensive exercise. This stretches the muscles and achieves greater flexibility in different parts of the body.
Generally, stretches are done before warming up and after
various types of exercises. As you stretch, your muscles release tension, relax, and tighten to start physical activity. At the same time, they reduce muscle tension and return to a resting state after the workout ends. Stretching prevents injuries and reduces them when we already have them. These are easy routines that everyone can do, even if they are not used to sports. The stretching time is short and quick, just 5 or 10 minutes before and after physical activity. It also improves blood flow and oxygenation to the muscles.
- The simplest stretches, for example, start by standing with legs apart while taking a breath and letting it go as we raise and lower the arms.
Another exercise is sitting with raised legs. Raise the right leg, holding the outer part with one hand and the ankle with the other hand. We can hold this position for a few seconds and pull the leg towards the chest. Do the same with the other leg.
- Another stretching exercise consists of sitting on the floor or any other surface and raising the arms as high as possible. We will stay upright and repeat this movement several times.
- Lying on the floor, we will place our hands under the head and bend the knees. Then, we will raise one leg and place it on top of the other, push it towards the floor, hold it, and repeat the stretch with the other leg.
- We will place our hands interlaced behind the neck while our knees are bent. We will contract the glutes and abdominal muscles, which will also contract simultaneously.
- Standing, we will grab the bent right leg from behind. We will stay in this position for about 10 seconds and repeat the same operation with the left leg. We must maintain balance without leaning against any wall or surface.
- To keep the abs strong,
we will stretch face down on a mat, and slowly raise the trunk. We will repeat the stretch several times.
- There are many stretching exercises, and at first, it is recommended to do them under the supervision of a professional to ensure we are doing them correctly.
