How to train your body's flexibility?

Flexibility is a sign of our youth. Flexibility of the body can only be achieved through certain exercises. So what kind of exercise can make our body more flexible? Let’s learn about the specific methods of exercising body flexibility, but it is best to choose the intensity and method of exercise that suits you.

1. Warm up. First move the joints of your head, hands, waist and legs, then jog for 15 minutes. (Because that’s how it was done in school before, the ligaments are more likely to loosen after jogging)

2. It’s about stretching the ligament. It is carried out in several steps. First, the ankles. Sit down, place your left foot on your right knee, hold your left ankle with both hands and move it for two eight beats. Then, maintain the position, press your knee down with one hand, back and forth for two eight beats. Then keep the position and put down your left leg, then press your right leg, trying to stick your belly to your leg. Four eight beats. Switch feet, same thing.

3. It’s a vertical split. Go as deep as you can, preferably close to the ground, with the back of your feet touching the ground and your upper body upright.

4. It’s a horizontal split. Keep your heels on the ground and your feet curled up. The rest of the requirements are the same as above.

5. The instep. Kneel on the ground with the soles of your feet touching the ground, then lie back. The highest level is when your back is on the ground. Be careful not to lift your knees.

Kind tips:

When exercising your ligaments, you must pay attention to warm-up exercises and avoid exercising too fast or too hard. Especially in winter, you should move your limbs before exercising. If you don't warm up before exercising, it is easy to cause muscle or ligament strain or sprain. The best time to practice is at night before bed. First, do some warm-up exercises, starting with the most basic leg stretching, which can be divided into fast and slow stretching. Slow pressure takes thirty to forty seconds each time, gently stretching the muscles until you feel slight pain. Rapid pressure is to stretch your legs quickly until you feel the pain. If you can't reach the target area with your hands during exercise, don't force it. You can add a rope to assist in the exercise.

When exercising body flexibility, we must be careful not to use too much force. Also, pay attention to the exercise time. Don't keep our body in a tense state for a long time, which will cause injury to our ligaments. Secondly, for friends who are just starting to exercise ligaments, it is best to use some props or tools to help us achieve flexibility.
