Tips for Improving Your Body’s Flexibility

Tips for Improving Your Body’s Flexibility

Increased flexibility improves your mobility, reduces your risk of muscle strain, and can help improve your overall mood by making you feel more comfortable in your body. Furthermore, if you want to develop your strength, enhancing your flexibility is an important part of maintaining your body’s balance as you transform.

Yet despite these benefits, many people lose flexibility over time due to a sedentary lifestyle. Build stability and resilience with the following tips for improving your body’s flexibility.

Avoid Prolonged Sitting

In modern life, people spend lots of time sitting at a desk, in a car, or on a couch while watching a screen. Research links prolonged sitting with many negative health consequences, including metabolic syndrome and an increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease. And while you sit, some muscles lengthen while others shorten. This is why prolonged sitting can result in less flexibility.

Perhaps the easiest way to interrupt periods of sitting is to stand up every 30 minutes or every 20 minutes if possible. You should also try to walk around more often. For example, talk on the phone while walking around. If you spend lots of time at a desk, consider getting a standing desk so that you don’t have to sit for so long. These simple changes can improve your flexibility.

Exercise

The next tip for improving your body’s flexibility is to exercise. You can consider doing specific workouts, such as yoga, to achieve this goal. With yoga, you stretch your muscles and improve their range of motion, leading to greater flexibility throughout your body with just a few weeks of consistent exercise.

You can also use exercise equipment that improves your flexibility, such as stall bars. Stall bars have a configuration similar to a ladder, and you can pull and push on the rungs to stretch your muscles and improve their elasticity. People with varying degrees of flexibility, including gymnasts and people in physical therapy, have used this equipment to achieve their goals.

Do Static and Dynamic Stretches

Finally, stretching your muscles is a great way to improve your flexibility. You can stretch just to stretch or as part of your pre- and post-workout routine. Static stretches involve stretching a muscle group and holding the position for at least 15 seconds. If you touch the tips of your toes with your fingertips and hold the position, this is static stretching.

Another type of stretching is dynamic stretching, and as you might guess, it involves more movement. With dynamic stretching, you use gentle movements to stretch multiple muscle groups and gradually increase your range of motion. One example of a dynamic stretch is holding your arms out from the sides of your body and moving them in circles, starting with small circular movements and gradually making larger circles.
