just stretch 3 times a day, warm up first and then spend 45 - 60 seconds in each stretch, make sure each stretch you do hurts, but do not bounce into the stretches, apply the stretch slowly to avoid too much damage.

ok properly im a midsection college cheerleader and to do cheer you need to be versatile top? properly my coach and fellow cheerleaders have some common swifter training on a thank you to advance into extra versatile. it is going to take nonetheless take time and could be executed on an universal basis! So what you need to do is take a bath in very heat water no longer warm or chilly...heat! then stay in for extra or less and 30 to an hour and stretch on an identical time as interior the bathtub. this is bc you muscle tissues and bones are no longer any extra demanding and that they advance into comfortable. Then once you get out stretch for extra or less 20 minutes then pass to sleep. It has labored for me amazingly properly and all my friends. i'm able to do the splits and toe touches very almost in a pair of week and a a million/2. i wish this facilitates you as much as me! this is one way i do it yet another is basically try yoga!

Yoga uses techniques that will not only strengthen
and tone, but stretch and allow you to become more
flexible.
However, before starting any exercise program, feel
free to speak to a doctor or health care professional
(School Nurse) for more information and or advice.

Here are a few stretches to get you started:
* Start out lying on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Gently hug one knee toward your chest with your hands, using minimal upper body strength. Hold this for up to 30 seconds. Release this leg and do the same with the other leg. Repeat this twice more for up to 30 seconds.
* Same starting position as above: Place one leg flat on the floor. Hug the knee of the bent leg towards you while trying to keep the knee of the leg that's on the floor as flat as possible. Hold for up to 30 seconds. Change legs. You can do this stretch a couple of times.
* Keep one leg flat and your other leg bent with the foot flat on the floor. Place your arms along side of you with your palms flat. Raise the leg that's flat on the floor as high as you can while keeping that knee as straight as possible. Don't push off of the foot that's on the floor or raise your hips off the floor. Change legs. Repeat as above.
* Bend both knees and keep your feet flat on the floor. Hold your arms straight out to the side with your palms facing up. Let both legs drop to the same side while turning your head the opposite way. Take three deep, breaths before rolling your legs back up to the center and on through to the other side.
