What is the correct way to stretch your legs?

The human body relies on its legs to walk, stand, dance, run and other activities every day. The human body cannot live without its legs. Therefore, we should take good care of our legs and not overwork them. We can do leg stretching every day to strengthen our legs and keep fit, but many people still don’t know how to do leg stretching. In fact, the method is relatively simple. What are the correct leg stretching methods? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. What are the correct ways to stretch your legs?

For those who cannot lower their legs horizontally or vertically, you can try placing one leg on a table or railing at waist height and press your body down. Do not lower your head to reach your leg in order to stick your body to your leg. Remember to stick your entire body to your leg.

2. Common Mistakes

"Sending the hips" means stretching the legs if the hips are not straight. When you cross your left leg, do you find that your left buttocks are no longer on the same plane as the right one? At this time, you need to pull your left hip backwards to make your pelvis on the same plane.

3. Note

Pay attention to the instep of your feet, and make sure your toes are extended when stretching your legs. Don't just leave them there casually, and keep them tense at all times.

4. How to practice well

1. Don't bend your knees. Whether you are doing one-leg press, sit-up or splits, your knees should be straight so that you can train beautiful lines.

2. Flexibility is "30% pressure and 70% kicking". You must kick your legs after stretching the ligaments. Also pay attention to your knees and insteps when kicking. If you don't kick after stretching, you will find that there is no progress. If you insist on kicking, you will find that your flexibility is improving day by day.

3. Persistence is the key to victory. Don’t be a one-shot guy when practicing flexibility. The effect of practicing for five minutes a day will be much better than practicing for three hours a month, so stick to it. Taking some time offline every day to stretch your legs and ligaments is also a good way to relax yourself.
