How to train leg stretching at home?

Many people are interested in the question of how to train leg stretching at home, and this is not surprising. High-quality stretching is necessary not only for professional athletes; it indicates the good physical condition of your body, proper functioning of the joints and a healthy spine. Even if you don’t need splits in your life, but you play sports, elasticity will allow you to build muscle mass faster. When you stretch, muscle tissue is torn, and new muscle tissue appears in place of the tears, due to which the overall volume increases.

Each leg stretching workout at home should begin with warming up the muscles, otherwise you can damage them, and recovery will then take a very long time. To do this, you can jump rope, work out on a machine, or simply do squats in several sets of 20-30 times. You can also do holds and swings, which also allows you to warm up your muscles. Stretching any muscles at home is always painful, but make sure that the pain is not severe. Never stretch cold muscles. This can result in a sports injury!

You need to start practicing stretching at home by bending your body to straight legs, closed together. You need to stretch your chest towards your knees. Be sure to watch your back, try to keep it straight, and your knees - they should not bend. Next, spread your legs as wide as possible and stretch alternately to different legs, then stretch forward, again with your chest to the floor. Now you can move on to other exercises and directly do the splits.

Let us tell you one interesting trick: the technique of the King of the Twines himself - Jeanne-Claude Van Damme. The famous choreographer, unsurpassed master of martial arts, and a talented actor who starred in more than three dozen films trained his splits with the help of books... How? - Yes, it’s very simple! Take a stack of books and do the splits right on the books. Then you slowly begin to remove books from the stack, thereby gradually sinking lower and lower to the floor. Ultimately, having put away the last book, you will completely do the splits - everything ingenious is simple! Well, then you can move on to stools or chair backs - everything, as the great master taught...

Also include massage, sauna and water treatments in your training plan - all this will allow your muscles and ligaments to quickly rehabilitate and get back into shape. See you in the gym, friends!
