type of stretching exercise?
Oct 19, 2008 in
Yoga and Pilates Mat
I am looking for a type of exercise or martial arts that is stretching & flowing movements. It needs to be something you mostly do standing, not on the floor on a mat like pilates. I'm not into yoga either….so is there anything else out there? thanks
You can do stretching exercise on your individual muscle groups or do a whole body stretching.
Here's the hows of doing the whole body stretching: http://www.perfect-body-toning.com/stretch-exercise.html
It also includes stretches on these individual muscle groups: upper/lower back, shoulder, hips, calf, hamstring and neck.
Always do your stretches after your workout. You can also stretch before workout but do it after the warm-up.

Short answer: I've never found a comprehensive total body stretching program. Just did a search on 'stretch' and got zip.
Long answer: I'm a geezer. If I don't stretch. I get injured (pulled muscles, tendinitis, etc.)
In the last few weeks I've seen articles from prestigious magazines say that 'stretching has not been confirmed to prevent injuries'.
Bananas!
Solution: Over the years I've gleaned various stretches for body parts.
1: upper back, shoulders and arms
2: mid back, torso, and abs
3: lower back, hips and butt
4: lower hips, butt and upper legs
5: the rest of arms and legs
I separate the body into segments on work on whatever parts need the work.
HAPPY SEARCHING!
