  • You can always slightly cut back on your active exercise time to incorporate flexibility work. For example, if you usually walk for 60 minutes a day, walk for 50 minutes and end your walk with 10 minutes of stretching. In the end, becoming more flexible is all about prioritizing it as a goal.

The article from CNET outlines four essential rules for effective stretching to enhance flexibility. Firstly, it emphasizes the importance of warming up before stretching to prevent injuries, suggesting light cardio or dynamic movements. Secondly, it advises on the duration of stretches, recommending holding each stretch for at least 15 to 30 seconds to allow muscles to relax and lengthen. Thirdly, the article discusses the frequency of stretching, suggesting that daily stretching or at least three to four times a week can significantly improve flexibility. Lastly, it highlights the need for proper technique, stressing that stretches should be performed with correct form to target the right muscles without causing strain elsewhere. The piece also includes insights from experts on how these rules can lead to better overall physical health and performance.
