A flexible body allows a person to achieve better results in life. This also applies to the ability to be agile on the physical level, and the ability to be flexible to different life situations on the mental level. A person whose plastic is like water feels healthy and full of vitality.
Instructions
Step 1
You can stretch at home and in the gym with an instructor. If your knowledge of stretching is minimal and you want good stretching, start by finding a good instructor. The instructor will teach you the main thing, which is almost impossible to understand by stretching yourself. He will teach you to feel the moments when you should stretch, despite the pain, and when you should stop, in order to maintain the integrity of the ligaments and the ability to move.
Step 2
Never stretch without warming up your muscles. Only professionals can afford such extravagance. Lean, unprepared ligaments and muscles can be easily injured. And recovery can cost you a long and painful wait. Those who have been practicing for a long time feel the reaction of the body.
Step 3
The warm-up is needed as usual, as before other activities (fitness, dancing, aerobics, tai-bo). The duration should be 10-15 minutes. Make active movements - jump, run, swing your arms from your shoulders, from your elbows, make a "twist". Start off not too abruptly, gradually increasing your strength and pace. You should feel your muscles warm up.
Step 4
Even if you find yourself a beginner among those who sit on the splits without any problems, continue to stretch. Looking at others will help you understand what to aim for and the stretching will go faster. And there is no limit to perfection.
Step 5
While stretching, direct your inner gaze to the part of your body that you are pulling. Relax, give your body the right to move wherever it goes. Any tension (even mental) fetters this movement. Therefore, relax everything, even the brain and facial muscles.
Step 6
As you exhale, the body can move a few centimeters or millimeters. Do not squeeze the impossible out of your body, just try to move at least a millimeter further each time. But if it doesn’t work, don’t put pressure on the body: it also has different states.
Step 7
Exercise regularly. Only in this case will your stretch be closer to the desired one. However, if you have a good stretch, it is quite possible to restore it after a break.
Step 8
After training with an instructor, you can stretch at home. To do this, choose a calm, "stretching" music. Tune in to stretching, dropping all thoughts. Let body and music guide you.
