Great Stretching For Your Vertical Leap, How Often To Stretch Your Muscles
Can you answer my question please, is it good to stretch your legs every day? And after leg workouts, is two days enough for recovery?
Okay, lets attack number one first. Is it good to stretch your legs every day? YES. There is a movement online or I should say some people online who say that any type of static stretching is bad and you should only do dynamic stretching.
But Im not in that camp and you could look at my other videos about that. I believe that stretching, even static stretching, dynamic stretching and many different type of stretching are going to be good for preventing injuries, increasing blood flow, increasing potential performance, range emotions and lots of things.
And really its something you can do; not only everyday but you can do it multiple times a day. If youre sitting a long time, get up and stretch. If youre standing for a long time, sit down and stretch. Just stretch out your muscle, activate your muscle, and get your engine motion going.
Do it in lots of places. I mean dont just do simple stretches that you may know and try to make your whole body activate it and stretch it. Stretching with proper weight can also help increase your strength and it can also help for recovery of tendons and overall balance. So, stretching is a good thing.
I believe that if you got in a bandwagon that says stretching is not good, you should only do static stretching or all this other things, I think it could take you down a course that can potentially injure yourself or your body to be not in optimal state to perform and avoid injury.
So thats my take, whats you guys take? Should we stretch every day? Should we not stretch every day? What do you think? Lets have it out. So otherwise two days is enough for recovery. That is an impossible question to answer; Im not going to say yes two days would be fine because it depends in your experience, depends on your biology, depends on your diet, and depends on how you work out.
I recommend basing your recovery in your performance which means that you need to track. Everyone has heard me say this. If youre not tracking your performance, if I dont know when you need recovery and when you dont need recovery, so track your performance. And if you see those drops or when you see maybe your body isnt performing explosively, and or you cant move the same amount of weight.
So there are so many things that could mean you need more recovery but you wont know that until youre actually tracking your performance. So for a lot of people, for like a standard workout, yes, two days could be enough for recovery. Some work outs could toseven days or more, it just depends.
Always track your performance and based on that performance, you will know and the answer is within you. So Way-ar, let me know if that answers your question and well talk soon.
