STRETCHING NEEDS TO BE RELEASING

We always hear that you need to stretch for a healthy body. You see athletes stretch, some before, some after they perform and some do both. Whatever you do for stretching, the most important part of stretching is to make sure you breath and RELEASE into any stretch. Take a stretch up to the point where you begin to feel the pull or discomfort of the position. Then take a deep breathe and as you exhale, release into the pull instead of resisting it. You are doing this correctly if you discover you have increased flexibility and a greater range of motion afterwards.
