　　How do we stretch

　　Stretching is actually very simple, but we often use the wrong method - that is, doing it very quickly and stretching the body to the point of pain. This kind of stretching actually does a lot of harm. In fact, correct stretching exercises will not give you any pain. You have to learn to focus on your body. When you feel pain, it means that you must have done something wrong and need to make adjustments quickly.

　　Stretching exercises you can do at any time

At the end of the movement, both shoulders should be close to the ground. After completing a set of movements, switch to the other side. Do 6 times in each direction.

　　3. Traditional leg press

　　Stand, take a big step forward with your left leg, lean forward, close to the top of the thigh of your left leg, straighten your right leg, and make a right angle to the calf of your left leg and the ground. Press your hips down until you feel a comfortable stretch. If necessary, you can use one hand to support the ground to maintain balance. Hold for 10 to 20 seconds, then switch sides and continue.
