Exercise FAQ
What should I do if one side feels tighter?
Spend a bit more time on the tighter side, but keep both sides in the routine. The goal is balanced, comfortable range of motion.
When is the best time to do this stretch?
After training or as a recovery session when the body is warm. If done before lifting, keep it light and short.
Should I bounce or stay still?
Stay controlled. Gentle movement is fine, but avoid bouncing that makes you lose control of the position.
