Rotator cuff stretches
Rotator cuff stretches are quite important for the mobility of the shoulder joint. The rotator cuffs pretty often tend to shortening what makes a stretching very reasonable.
Adductor stretch
The adductor stretch increases the mobility of the hip joints. Especially men tend to shortening in that area and should stretch the adductor muscles regularly.
Side trunk stretches
Side trunk stretches increase the mobility of the lumbar spine. Especially, the deep abdominal muscles with the quadratus lumborum will be stretched.
Lat stretches
Lat stretches: The latissimus is one of the biggest muscles of the body. It can be stretched easily what is quite reasonable after hard workouts.
Back thigh stretches
Back thigh stretches are very important. The muscles of the backside of the thigh tend to shortening what limits the mobility of the hip joints.
Iliopsoas stretch
Iliopsoas stretch: Sportsmen and -women often stretch their iliopsoas in a suboptimal way. The iliopsoas is a pair of muscles (psoas major and iliacus) that represents the strongest hip flexor what should be stretched properly.
Shoulder stretches
Shoulder stretches: The shoulder represents the most flexible joint of the human body. To ensure a good mobility we should stretch the shoulders regularly.
Chest stretches
Chest stretches are important for the mobility of the shoulder joint. The exercise strengthens and stretches the chest muscles, the front part of the deltoid muscle, and the internal rotators of the shoulder. Moreover people that are suffering from a hunched back can ease their complaints with a regular chest stretching.
Calf stretches
Calf stretches are very important for the mobility of the ankle joint. The muscles of the calves tend to shortening and should be stretched regularly.
Benefits of stretching
Benefits of stretching: There are a lot! Stretching even is more important than strength training and should be practised regularly. It improves the mobility, helps us to relax and strengthens our muscles to the same time.
