Then you need to do some stretching exercises before exercise to improve the softness of your body and make the exercise effect more obvious. So what is the main point of stretching? Let me tell you what the essentials of stretching exercise are.

Key points of stretching exercise

First of all, active pigeons

Exercise area, piriformis-a muscle of the hip.

Start with push-ups and put your hands on the ground. Lift your left knee close to your shoulder and your ankle on your right hip.

Exercise area, lower back

The main training part of this movement is mainly the lower part of the back. Kneeling on the ground, legs on the ground, about 30 cm away from the hips.

The main purpose of muscle stretching is to relax the body and relieve muscle fatigue. Muscle stretching is not limited to stretching muscles after fitness exercise, but also stretching muscles in daily life. Some people compare the image of stretching muscles in various parts of the body to massage in various parts of the body.

But muscle stretching has certain requirements for relaxing the body and relieving muscle fatigue. The specific requirements are as follows.

1, a simple warm-up before muscle stretching, such as jogging in place, stretching for 3 to 5 minutes.

2. Generally, static stretching is adopted. The so-called static stretching is to keep a posture still.

3. The action of stretching muscles in all parts needs to be kept for more than 15 seconds.

Stretching movement after instrument movement

Stretching action of quadriceps femoris

Stand on one leg, bend the knee joint of the other thigh to make the heel close to the hip, put both ends of the belt under the ankle joint of the hind leg and bypass the top of the head with both hands, and slowly and forcefully pull the belt upward to fully stretch the quadriceps, and at the same time, the hip muscles will feel tight.

Note that in the process of stretching, if the lower back bends forward excessively, it will cause extra pressure on the waist and cause damage, so the lower back should be kept as relaxed as possible, and only the quadriceps femoris can fully stretch.

The pulling action of biceps femoris

Lie on your back on the floor with one leg straight up until it is perpendicular to the ground. Hold both ends of the belt (or towel) with both hands, put the middle of the belt in the middle of your thighs, and pull the belt back with both hands to fully extend the biceps femoris. During the whole process, keep your knees straight.

Leg muscle stretching

Lie on your back on the floor, straighten one leg perpendicular to the ground, then move the belt to the achilles tendon of the ankle joint, and pull the belt back hard, while stretching the biceps femoris and calf muscles. Next, stretch gluteus maximus, abdominal muscles, pectoralis major and back muscles in turn.

Stretching action of gluteus maximus

Lie on your back on the floor with one leg horizontally on the floor and the other? Bend your knees and lift your legs, put your hands on the upper end of your calf, keep your thighs as close to your body as possible, and pull your gluteus maximus.

You can also rotate the gluteus maximus so that the knee joint is outward; Then hold the knee joint with one hand and the sole of the foot with the other hand, and slowly and forcefully pull to the chest, so that some muscle fibers in the lateral part of the gluteus maximus are stretched; Then the hand holding the knee joint becomes the hand holding the knee joint, and slowly pushes the knee joint to the opposite side of the body for more intense stretching.

The pulling action of abdominal muscles and lower back muscles (erector spinae)

Lie prone on the floor, put your hands under the shoulder joint, slowly straighten your arms, let your upper body lift from the ground, and keep your lower body still. At this point, the abdominal muscles are fully stretched; Then keep the trunk off the ground and rotate slightly to both sides to stretch the external oblique muscle.

Finally, sit your feet on your hips, lean forward, bend your back, straighten your arms, put them on the ground, and move your hands forward as far as possible to fully stretch your lower back, mainly stretching erector spinae.

Stretching action of pectoralis major muscle

Hold your palm on the edge of the door frame, lean forward, and stretch the pectoralis major on the same side of your arm with your center of gravity leaning forward. You can stretch the pectoralis major in different parts (upper, middle and lower) by adjusting the angle between the arm and the trunk.

The act of pulling the muscles back.

The trunk leans back, the palm holds the door frame forward, the palm is outward, and the back is turned backwards by using the waist strength, so that the latissimus dorsi muscle is fully stretched.

You can also bend your right arm behind your head, grab the right elbow joint with your left hand, press the elbow joint slowly and forcefully, and bend your body to the left at the same time to stretch the right latissimus dorsi. Or straighten your right arm forward, hold your left hand outside your right elbow, and swing your right arm vigorously to the left around your chest. You can choose one of the above three actions.
