Getting Started
Your Guide
As you go through the stretches that follow, take note that many stretches are advanced and should not be performed by all people. My desire with the stretches that follow and with this website is to give everybody a choice and a wide variety of stretches that they may want to incorporate in their daily lives. Before you start your program, there are a few things you want to do:
- Consult a physician before starting any new program.
- Warm up. At least 5-10 minutes.
- Take stretching seriously! Focus on what you are trying to accomplish.
- Focus on Posture. You should sit or stand nice and tall, no slouching.
- Move slowly in and out of each stretch.
- Focus on proper breathing.
- Be comfortable when stretching. Wear loose fitting or stretchy clothes.
- Consciously focus on the muscle being stretched.
- Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds.
- Get rid of all distractions. Find a quiet place to stretch.
