What are muscle stretching exercises?

Exercise is a fitness method that many of our friends usually do, and there are many ways to exercise. When exercising, many of our friends not only worry about growing muscles, but also worry about muscle pain. Generally, in order to prevent such a situation, we need to do stretching exercises. Let’s take a look at what muscle stretching exercises are. I hope this will be helpful to my friends.

1: Stretch the inner thighs. Step out with one leg, squat with the whole body, put the center of gravity on the foot with the knee facing forward, and stretch the legs.

Step to the right with your right foot, with the other knee facing forward, squat down, straighten your back, and place your hands on your knees. Hold this position for 30 seconds, then switch sides to stretch the inner thigh muscles.

2: Hip and pelvic muscle stretch

Bend one leg and pull it toward the side of the body, straighten the other leg backwards, bend the left foot and pull it toward the body, straighten the right foot backwards, maintain a straight line, and the angle between the body and the right foot must be greater than 90 degrees.

Keep your head up and chest out, press your body down with your hands on the ground, straighten your upper body, press your body down, and your hips facing the ceiling. After maintaining this position for 30 seconds, alternate your legs to stretch your hip and pelvic muscles.

3: Biceps stretch: Stretch one hand, bend the wrist and press down the five fingers. Stretch the left hand forward with the palm facing outward, bend the wrist downward, and press down the five fingers with the right hand. Hold for 30 seconds, then switch hands and stretch the biceps group of the arm.

4: Stretch your waist and lie down facing the ground, support yourself with your elbows or palms, and keep your feet straight and flat on the ground. It is recommended to place a soft cushion at the elbow position before use, or place a full body cushion under the body to avoid injury due to excessive force when supporting with the elbow.

Arch your body upward into a crescent shape. Use your hands to support your body and arch your body upward into a half-moon shape. Hold the position for 30 seconds to stretch your waist muscles.

The above are four methods of stretching exercises, which we need to do after exercising. They can effectively prevent muscle soreness or muscle growth. In normal times, we should also pay attention to our exercise methods and amount of exercise. We should not exercise too much, and we should prevent excessive exercise.
