STRETCHING SUNDAY🧘🏽‍♀️

Active Flexibility movements (think stretching without the long hold) are designed to improve soft tissue extensibility in all planes of motion, while activating the opposing muscle being stretched. Dynamic Flexibility movements use the force production of a muscle and the body’s momentum to take a joint through it’s full, available range of motion. They are both great ways to warm up your body and prepare for strength training or cardio workout.

Here are some great Active and Dynamic Hip Flexibility movements.

• Hip swings: Repeat the movement 10-15 times on each leg.

• Half Circles: Repeat the entire movement (back-to-front & front-to-back) 6-8 times on each leg.

• Walking Front Lunges w/Torso Rotation: Repeat the movement 10-15 times on each leg.

• Alternating Reverse Lunge w/Torso Rotation: Repeat the movement 10-15 times on each leg.

Be sure to breathe continuously through the movements and always work within YOUR pain-free available range.
