Stretch long, stretch often. To get more flexible, Apostolopoulos recommends stretching each muscle group daily for 60 seconds at a time, three times per muscle group. For instance, you might stretch your left hamstring for 60 seconds, then your right, then repeat two more times. Find the right position.
STRETCH YOUR MUSCLES: When your muscles are chronically tight the surrounding fascia tightens along with them. Over time the fascia becomes rigid, compressing the muscles and the nerves. STRETCH YOUR FASCIA: Once your fascia has tightened up, it doesn't want to let go. Because the fascia can withstand up to 2,000 pounds of pressure per square inch, you're not going to force your way through, so stretch gently.
