Exercise FAQ
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.
What’s a common mistake with stretching?
Forcing range and holding your breath. Relax into the stretch with slow breathing and a position you can control.
Should I bounce or stay still?
Stay controlled. Gentle movement is fine, but avoid bouncing that makes you lose control of the position.
