We often admire the beauty of dancers on stage, performances of gymnasts. Most people believe that plasticity is not entirely necessary for the "average" modern person in this constant bustle of life. Why do we need it?
Flexibility is inherent in us by nature, just in our time, the body has already begun to forget about it due to lack of movement. The ability to sit on a split, for example, allows you to keep your hips and buttocks in a taut state, which should be very interesting for women. Flexible people improve blood supply, metabolism, posture and coordination of movements. Sometimes the gait even changes - the movements become smooth and graceful. For the interest of men, it must be said that the muscles strengthened by stretching become a serious protector of the skeleton and the body as a whole during serious physical exertion, bruises, falls, etc.
But so that the training process does not become a nightmare for you, consider the following tips, regardless of the set of exercises that you choose:
- Before stretching, be sure to warm up your muscles. Cold muscle tissue stretches poorly and painfully. Suitable: running in place, swinging legs and arms, vigorous turns of the torso, jumping and just intense rubbing of muscles.
- Do not stretch your muscles to the point of pain during the first sessions, otherwise you will not return to training soon.
- The muscles should be relaxed while stretching. The tense muscles hardly stretch and the results of the exercises will be almost zero.
- Do not pull the muscles until they hurt violently - this can damage the muscles.
- All movements during exercise should be slow, smooth, without jerks.
- The fixation time for each exercise is at least 20 seconds.
- In case of body aches during exercise, you can take a hot bath or go to the sauna.
- Repeat the exercise course at least 3 times a week.
Complexes of exercise can be very different, there are a huge number of them. Choose the one that suits you at the moment and do it. The result will not be long in coming.
