Muscle Group

You should know what muscle groups you're going to work, so when it’s time to do some stretch exercise you will be more effective.

When to Stretch

Stretch only after you're done with a workout or after your muscles are warmed up.

If you stretch your muscles when they are not warmed up you can tear them at the tendons.

This is the time that you will get the more out of stretching.


Don't Bounce

Whatever stretch that you do never bonus. Just go down as far as you can then hold it there for a count to 30 seconds.


Don't Rush it

Stretching you don't want to rush through take your time the better off you will be. Bouncing only harms you when you’re stretching.


Begin Slow

If you can't touch your toss don't try to push yourself to far all at once, you will more likely hurt yourself more than anything else.

Take your time to loosen up your muscles.


Both Sides

Remember to stretch both sides of your body. You don't want one leg to be able to touch your nose and the other can't, stretch for both.

Make sure you stretch your back side as much as you stretch your front side.
