I m really out of shape. I want to stretch really good but i can barely reach my foot when i stretch. What is a good way to stretch your whole body and how. How many times should a do it a day?
Answer:
stretch thoroughly after a nice session of cardio when the muscles, tendons and ligaments are warm and pliable. stretch out the calves first, then hamstrings and finally the quadriceps in that order. no real trick to stretching the upper body except to make sure the muscles are warmed up properly.
i work at a gym and some of the personal trainers where i work do stretching sessions in addition to personal training . . . basically, you lay down on something like a massage table and they actually stretch you (30-minute sessions where i work)maybe that would be a good option until you've gotten in a little better shape and have more flexibility to stretch on your own
