- Use static stretching post-workout or before bed for muscle relaxation and improved sleep.
- Breathe deeply and relax your body during static stretches to enhance their effectiveness.
Targeted Stretching
- Stretch with purpose, targeting specific overactive muscles that hinder other muscle activation.
- Avoid stretching muscles you're about to use explosively, as it can increase injury risk.
Flexibility and the CNS
