Tip:

  • Pre-workout stretching helps to warm up the muscles (both contracted and stretched) and prepare them to action.
  • Post-workout stretching helps to relax the muscles and remove metabolic wastes accumulated during muscles load. Muscle soreness will be reduced, and you will quickly recover.
  • If you don’t do workouts or any physical activity, we recommend to perform stretching exercises in the morning or at bedtime.
  • Do stretching exercises every day.
