3 Best Static Stretching Routines
It is said that if you want to exercise effectively without getting unnecessary pains and injury better start the exercise with a stretching routine. It is important to stretch because the connective tissues in our body that surround body muscles are tuff and tight and thus this actually constricts the expansion as well as the growth of the muscles.
Also stretching is important as it provides our muscles with better shape. There are two basic types of stretching and these are the active stretching and the static stretching. Both stretching routines however tend to expand the fasical as well as the surrounding tissues of the muscles. Here are 3 best static stretching routines.
1. Stretching for Biceps Chest and Shoulders To start the routine just extend your arm holding a poll or a stationary object with other hand and with an upright posture rotate your body until you feel that stretch in the biceps to the shoulders and then to the chest. Then hold it there for around 30 to 60 seconds. Do the same on the other arm and try to do the stretch at least two times on each side of the arm.

3. Stretching for the Quads With a seated leg curl or a leg extension machine adjust the foot roller the height just lower your butt and then put the pin back in the weight stack in order to keep the pad stable.
