How to train flexibility

Each of us has different living habits and exercise methods, which will result in different body flexibility. However, there are also innate reasons. Generally, women are more flexible than men. Friends who often do stretching exercises are more flexible than those who do not exercise. This is also a kind of acquired practice. In normal times, we can do more exercises that are good for flexibility to improve our body flexibility. There are many methods. The following two methods are very helpful for flexibility.

Exercises to develop flexibility

1. Active or passive static stretching method Active or passive static stretching exercise is an effective and popular stretching method. It slowly stretches the muscles, tendons and ligaments to a position where there is a certain feeling of soreness, swelling and pain, and maintains this posture for a period of time. It is generally believed that staying for 10 to 30 seconds should be the ideal time. Each exercise should be repeated 4 to 6 times in a row for best results. This method can better control the use of force and is safer. It is especially suitable for people with little activity and no training. It can avoid strain due to the slow stretching.

2. Active or passive dynamic stretching method Active or passive elastic stretching exercises refer to a stretching method that repeats an action rhythmically, at a faster speed, with gradually increasing amplitude. Active elastic stretching is stretching by one's own strength, while passive elastic stretching is stretching with the help of a partner or with the help of external force such as weight. When practicing using active or passive dynamic stretching methods, the force used should be adapted to the possible stretching force of the stretched joint. If it is greater than the stretchable capacity of the muscle tissue, the muscles or ligaments will be strained. When using this method, you should not use too much force. The amplitude must be from small to large. Do a few small preparatory stretches first, and then gradually increase the amplitude to avoid strain.

The flexibility of the body mainly depends on acquired exercise. Exercising through the above two methods and persisting in it for a long time will be of great help to the flexibility of our body. What needs to be paid attention to is to pay attention to the correctness of the movements, and also to perform them according to your own physical condition, so as not to injure your body by excessive intensity of movement.
