Static Stretching

Brandon Schwartz • Aug 13, 2019

Static stretching is when you extend the muscle to full resistance and let it rest 20-30 seconds in that position.

 

A common misconception is to static stretch pre-workout. However this form of stretching is most beneficial post-workout.

 

Before your workout, your body is full of water and that’s when you’re least flexible. When you go through your workout, you sweat out a bunch of water. Now, your muscles are much more flexible, which is when static stretching is most appropriate

 

This video shows and example of static stretching focusing on the hamstrings!

 

TIPS:

  • Exhale as you reach out and reach to your full extension
  • Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds
  • Once completed with the stretch, slowly come back up to your original position
