How Does Flexibility Training Work?

There are two main types of flexibility training:

Static Stretching: This involves holding a stretch for a sustained period (typically 15-30 seconds) to gradually lengthen your muscles. Think of it as a gentle tug-of-war with your muscles.

Dynamic Stretching: These are controlled movements that gradually increase your range of motion, preparing your body for activity. Think of it as a gentle warm-up dance with your muscles.
