Fitness and muscle strength
80% fitness people underestimate the importance of stretching before training. Many fitness friends clearly know that stretching should be done before and after training, but they still skip this essential step or do something hastily during training. The root cause of this situation is not knowing the benefits of stretching and the disadvantages of not stretching.

If you don't stretch for a long time, fitness exercise will do great harm to your body, much more than you realize.

1. Without dynamic stretching before exercise, the movement will not reach the specified position, and the range of joint movement will be limited.

2. Without static stretching after exercise, the muscles will continue to be tense, which will affect the fitness effect.

3. Without stretching after running, the leg muscles stick together, resulting in thick legs.

4. Local muscle tension and body imbalance lead to posture problems.

What are the benefits of stretching?

1. Promote the rapid excretion of lactic acid produced by muscles during exercise.

2. Make muscles firmer and lines smoother.

3. Increase muscle flexibility and reduce the possibility of injury.

4. Relieve muscle tension and make your body more relaxed.

Although stretching is good, friends who stretch muscles still have many misunderstandings.

1. The longer you keep stretching, the better. It is best to control the time of each static stretching action at 15~30 seconds. Too long will reduce your sports performance.

2. Stretch the painful parts of the body. If the body has pain, stretching will aggravate the pain and greatly affect the contraction speed of the muscle itself.

3. Stretch only before or after exercise. If some parts of the body are tense for a long time, you need to spend more time stretching and relaxing your muscles.

After understanding these misunderstandings, let's briefly understand the classification of stretching. There are many kinds of stretching, including dynamic stretching and static stretching.

In short, it is suitable for dynamic stretching before training and static stretching after training.

Many muscle friends feel very tired after training, so they are lazy and don't stretch, but only those who stretch know that stretching is really comfortable, and they can't sleep for a day without stretching, who knows!
