1.) When stretching, always properly warm the muscles, (a cold muscle is a tight muscle).
2.) Hold for 5 to 10 deep, even breaths to fully release muscles.
3.) Do not bounce in the stretch. Hold and breathe.
4.) Try yoga, tai chi, or Pilates to increase adherence.
Try a Momentum Core & Stretch class for even more guidance!

Well, how is your flexibility?
There are three factors affecting the ability of your joints to move through its complete range of motion:
– Muscle elasticity & length
– The nervous system
– The joint structures
While a tight/open joint structure is genetic, the other two factors can be positively impacted by regular flexibility training.
The bad news is that the general population tends to neglect this component in their regular fitness routine.
Don’t let this happen to you! A regular stretching routine can do wonders for your physical performance and daily movement. Check out Momentum’s stretching videos the whole month of April- or book a complimentary movement analysis with a Momentum trainer to find out how you can move and feel better!
