Exercises for good muscle stretching

Stretching is a fundamental part of training and physical activity in general. It helps reduce injuries and the general care of muscles, bones and joints. The tissues that make up the muscles require adequate stretching before and after physical activity, otherwise they may end up breaking and tearing due to poorly performed demands and movements. According to studies by the National Center for Osteoporosis and Bone Diseases, the flexibility and resistance necessary so that the muscles are not damaged involve a strong work on the part of patients and specialized physiotherapists.

The muscles shorten after a period of tension, and the stretches serve to return them to their normal length. This also allows to increase the blood circulation that serves to carry nutrients to different parts of the human body.

Calf stretch

To stretch these muscles we will lean forward, leaning on a wall and with one leg bent forward. The other leg should be stretched and the soles of both feet should be resting on the ground and in line forward. This will help to stretch the muscle well, regain its shape after an intense day of exercises and work for a fit body.

Quadriceps Stretch

The quadriceps stretch can be done by placing the knees with the legs together, on the floor as if we were kneeling. We will rest our arms on the floor, but back of the back. The buttocks should be in contact with the heels. This stretching is essential so that the quadriceps are not injured, achieving a good functioning of the muscular system.


Push-ups to stretch your legs

Leg injuries, tears and contractures are very common when stretching before and after physical work is not performed properly. Therefore, a good exercise to stretch the muscles of the lower limbs is to sit on the floor with one leg stretched and the other flexed. Try to touch the ankle or foot of the stretched leg. This will cause you to stretch your leg to its limit, facilitating its recovery after a day of intense exercise.

Back stretch

To stretch the back muscles, it is recommended to stand at a distance of approximately one meter from the wall. We are going to extend the arms over the head and, grabbing a bar placed at an intermediate height between shoulders and hips, we are going to flex the trunk. The goal is to keep the arms and legs stretched so that the entire back can recover its normal level of stretching.

These are some of the stretching exercises you can do to ensure good physical condition and avoid injuries after the daily practice of any discipline. Go for a walk, run, swim or ride a bike. Any exercise can result in an injury if we do not properly perform the previous stretches to recover the normal state of the muscles. Taking care of your body and achieving a good physical condition depends entirely on our own responsibility by taking time for proper stretching and exercise.
