Yesterday I offered some information about how and when to stretch. There is another option to build flexibility, for those of us who just don’t ever get around to it. May I recommend Pilates?
Pilates is not primarily focused on flexibility, but as a practice, it encourages optimal length-tension relationships. In English, this means that when we do Pilates, we are working on making our muscles neither too contracted nor too loose. For some muscles, this means that we need to figure out how to get them to pull their fair share and for other muscles—you guessed it!—it means that we need to help them stretch out and relax.
Let me know if you want to schedule a free introductory session!
