Stretching for a Better Dance Workout

Posted By Lena - April 11, 2010

  • Stretching exercises are relaxing and fun to do but don't overdo it.

 

  • To properly stretch a muscle, you should try to lengthen the muscle to a point where you just feel the muscle stretching.

 

  • Stretching should not hurt; the statement "no pain, no gain" has no place in a stretching program.

 

  • Start off with some slow controlled exercises. Make sure you feel the tension point and stop there. Avoid overstretching and don’t bounce.

 

  • Hold the stretch for six to 10 seconds, lengthening the muscle if it relaxes in that period of time. Relax, then repeat the exercise.

 

  •  Stay in the stretch, breath and relax until you feel at least two 'releases'. You should feel that the longer you stay in it, the better it feels. If u can't get out of it soon enough, you've gone too far.

 

  •  Do each stretch twice (you'll feel it is easier the second time)

 

  •  Stretch each major muscle group (if possible) 5 or 6 times per week.
