Stretching is not just a specific set of exercises that will allow you to easily scratch your opponent with the toe of your right leg behind your left ear in a fight, but also a long, hard and often thankless job. Of course, we all watched films in childhood, in which the heroic Jean Claude Van Damme, carrying his terrible "revenge", sits on perfect splits in just a couple of weeks, performing simple stretching exercises. But how realistic is this in practice? We’ll talk about this.
Theory: warming up, warming up
The most unfortunate thing is that many who begin to stretch make the main mistake not in choosing the wrong
exercises for stretching their legs. Twine is able to comprehend, if not immediately, but everyone who has two legs,
willpower and mind working in the right direction. The whole point is that leg
stretching exercises should by no means be performed without a preliminary warm-up, which will include not only a preparatory complex that gradually stretches the tendons, muscles and ligaments, but also strength exercises that are designed to warm your muscles before work to avoid unnecessary injuries.
The warm-up warm-up exercises include various squats, running (possible on the spot), jumping,
swinging legs (practicing kicks) and so on. They should be performed as quickly as possible, the technique in this case does not play a special role.
In contrast to warming up, preliminary stretching exercises include: a butterfly (feet together, as close to the pelvis as possible, knees tend to the floor), a paper clip (sitting on your knees, lie on your back without extending your legs), rolling from one leg to another , slopes and so on.
There is also one trick that sometimes allows you to skip the warm-up phase. Its essence is to take a hot bath before stretching. Your muscles and ligaments will warm up in a completely natural way, and this will not require absolutely no dedication from you, which will facilitate the main process.
Easy way to sit on the twine
Yes, no matter what, there is such a way. But this is not a magic pill that will instantly turn you into Bruce Lee, so be prepared to work, work and work again in the name of your goal!
Twine longitudinal
The easiest way to sit on this kind of twine is to stretch consistently and evenly. Place two chairs on either side of you and leaning on them, lunge with your right foot, bent at the knee, as far forward as possible. The left leg should remain in place. Having reached the limit of your stretch, make another three or four jerks, and then perform the same stretching exercise, swapping them. Only after you feel confident in your own abilities (not earlier than in a week) should you begin to stretch on outstretched legs.
Transverse twine
With this twine, everything is much simpler. Spread your legs apart until you feel tension and pain in your pelvic area. Fix this position and, laying several books on this level under you, sit on them. Wait a moment, and then remove one book at a time, each time sitting lower and lower. Ideally, you should sit 3-4 centimeters per day.
And most importantly, when performing all these stretching exercises, no matter how confident you feel, never neglect the warm-up, otherwise it will lead to sad consequences. Good luck and sporting success!
