There are so many advantages of stretching. A couple of stretches that I regularly try to incorporate with some of my clientele include the pigeon pose stretch and an external shoulder rotation stretch.

I have been a huge fan of yoga for years, not so much on the pilates side of things.
I race Mtb’s and when it comes down to it I found most of its benefits when a mistake was made and crashed happen, the extra flexibility definitely helped with the likely hood that I would get up with minimal injury lol.

I’m a bit hit and miss with my stretching. I go through periods where I’m stretching daily then have a block where I completely neglect my stretching. I really need to get a lot more consistent in this area. I still think sometimes it is best left till the end of a workout though. I find after a hard jog some 10 to 15 minutes of static stretching is a really good way to catch your breath.

I’ve seen a lot of talk about this topic this week. especially about the fact that there is no one ultimate workout routine for every one, there are just many variations and one must learn to adapt to one that suits them. It’s probably to do with the fact that to workout effectively, one must follow there natural full range of motion (Using movements that you do naturally day-to-day) and everyone’s will be different. Great post and thanks for highlighting

I agree with greg, I definitely need to work at this more. Quick question, which kind of stretching is more affective for the body between Dynamic and Static stretching?

Assisted stretches and PNF stretches are fantastic for improving flexibility, especially if you aren’t particularly flexible to start with. If you don’t have a training partner or personal trainer to hand, then a towel is a really useful stretching aid.

I find it very hard to get the stretching into my workout. After that run or ride I often have to rush to get back to work. That being said, I have found the Yoga stuff in Wii Fit help with this – it “forces” me to stretch.

Even though my wife is a yoga instructor, this is one area where I fall short. Need to work at it more…
