How to stretch during exercise?

Stretching can stretch our muscles and ligaments, and can improve the body's sensitivity, flexibility and balance. It can avoid injuries caused by sports. Therefore, it is very beneficial for us to stretch before doing exercise. Generally speaking, stretching is best done after warm-up exercises before exercise, so that the body can be stretched to a greater extent and we can maintain a better state during exercise. So, how do you stretch during exercise? Let’s read on with this question in mind.

1. Triceps: Grab the elbow joint with one hand and gently push it across the body until your hand touches your back.

2. Gluteal muscles: Place your left leg on your right leg and keep it bent. Touch your left leg to your chest and twist your body to the left to look over your left shoulder.

3. Outer thigh: The thigh on the stretched side is extended diagonally backward, with the calf and the outer side of the foot touching the ground. The other thigh lunges forward with the knee bent, and both hands are placed on the ground for support. When stretching, the center of gravity of the body moves to the stretched side.

4. Hamstrings: Lie flat on your back, push one leg up, bend the other leg and keep the sole of the foot on the ground. Place a towel over your straightened foot and gently pull the towel down while pushing up on the sole of your foot.

After exercise, we also need to do some stretching exercises to help us end the exercise. There are many benefits to stretching after exercise. Because when we exercise, we usually use the muscles of our arms and legs, which will cause the muscles of our limbs to become very tired, and sometimes cause soreness and involuntary tremors. At this time, stretching can solve the problem.
