Static stretching is the type of stretching that you are probably most familiar with and the type you have been exposed to in school and sports.
Think of a standing calf stretch, seated hamstring stretch, or bending over to touch your toes.
Keep these tips in mind when static stretching:
- It is best to do static stretching after a warmup.
- It takes consistency to improve flexibility with static stretching.
- Hold your static stretches for 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Avoid bouncing when static stretching.
