Ohhh HELLO hamstrings and hip flexors! Are they super tight from sitting all day?
The reality is that, while some people are definitely naturally more flexible than others, if we all just took a few minutes each day to do some stretching, we’d notice improvements.
When you’re tight, you have a limited range of motion, so you can only use your muscles so efficiently. But if you have a full range, you have extra momentum and room to work.
Flexibility helps prevent injury, relieves pain, and promotes good posture. It’s also helpful for just moving about daily life.
Consistency is really key, and so is stretching your muscles when they are warmed up.
Hold each stretch for 30 seconds to a minute.
