Two Stretches You Need To Do
I'm not a stretcher.
If we are in the trust-tree, I almost never stretch before my workouts...until I started running. Now I know I need to stretch my calves and hamstrings to have a decent run.
Are we still in the trust tree? I can't be the only person who feels better after a little hamstring T.L.C....right?
This newsletter is about the movements, but if you're interested in following my running progress, strategies, and workouts...I am writing about it on my website. You can check out the first article here.
The first move I love is this hamstring floss. Flossing is a great way to utilize tension to contract and relax the muscle. It feels great, is pretty 'functional' in every day activities, and can help make things move better.
The second move that I love is the standing lateral line stretch. This move gets my I.T. band, TFL, little bit of calves, and even my lats. It's a great 'catch all' movement that leaves me actually feeling loose.
For both of these movements I typically rotate back and forth for 2-4 sets for about 30 seconds each round. I don't put a rep total on the movement, I just focus on getting some quality movement in.
Give these a go in your next workout!
