A Practical Stretching Routine

Build flexibility and mobility into your training wisely:

  • Before exercise — 5-10 minutes of dynamic movements matching the workout ahead
  • After exercise — 5-10 minutes of static holds, 20-30 seconds each, on the muscles you worked
  • Dedicated mobility work — 2-3 sessions a week, moving through full range against resistance
  • Breathe into stretches — slow breathing helps the body relax and settle deeper.
