Static active stretching! “Comparison of active stretching technique and static stretching technique on hamstring flexibility” Clinical journal of sport medicine 20 (1), 8-14, 2010 In this study they found that Active stretching (aka flexing the muscle while stretching) was WAY more effective AND the results stayed for longer. So if you’ve never had an intense stretching session with the muscles activated, NOW is the time to try. Stay flexy! #movementbydavid #stayflexy #stretching #flexibility |

I always talk about the benefits of stretching, but this may have lead people to believe that stretching is essential for health. This is not the case. You could actually live your whole life without ever stretching and still be quite flexible. Aaron and I collaborated on a post a few days ago and most people in the comments were disgusting. Aarons point was “It’s okay not to stretch” What people heard…. “STRETCHING IS BAD” which is not what was said. I hope we all can move on and continue to do

🤩 When warming up, it’s been proven time and time again dynamic is better than a static stretch. What’s that mean? You move while you stretch. Shorter stretches but more of them. I love this routine. Hits all the right spots! ➡️ Targets the hips/pelvis, spine and major muscle groups. Engages the core with the movement, and even gets the heart rate up a bit. You will need a little space to move but no equipment 🙌⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hold each pose for at least 5-10 seconds. Video speed for your entertainment
