Stretching and mobility: suppleness without pain

📖 Lesson ──▶ 🎯 Quiz — pick the translation ──▶ ✅ Lesson done

Mobility is the "youth of your joints": the range you can live in without pain. Two kinds of stretching: static (hold 20–30 s — after training) and dynamic (swings, circles — before, as warm-up). Never stretch "cold" — 5 minutes of warm-up are mandatory. Stretch to a "pleasant pull", not pain: pain triggers a protective spasm and the muscle resists even more.

●Basics: seated forward fold, "butterfly" (soles together), standing fold
●Breathe while stretching: exhale = a millimetre deeper
●Regularity beats intensity: 5 minutes daily > one hour a week

🤸 The mobility test for life: sit on the floor, stand up without hands. If it works — great hip and trunk mobility; if not — hip and back stretching is your month project.
