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.
The best way to stretch is to warm up for at least 5 to 10 minutes before you stretch. It can be dangerous to stretch a cold muscle. Once youâre ready to stretch, hold the stretch for 5 seconds, release for 5 seconds, and then execute again, holding for 10-30 seconds. Repeat two or three times. And definitely donât hearken back to the 80s and bounce.
