Stadion's Sports and Martial Arts Training Discussion

Yes, there are many ways of stretching and exercises. But it takes wery much time to practysing horse stance every hour. I do dynamic stretching (10 minutes) when i wake up and about 110 minutes of full stretching and dynamic and static stretching ( and so on )program, i modified and designed for my...

Hello, Why you want to do full horse stance all the time. I can do side splits with only few inches left untill i reach the floor but I cant do horse stance . So would'nt it be a good idea to finish you side stretching ( if not much remains of this stretch to complete ) and then try to make a horse ...

Hello everyone, I just wanted to say, that summer time is coming really quickly. So is my progress and in the end of summer i will be able to do side splits. So i want to wish everyone to work hard this summer and let your all stretching program be complete. Wish you patience and good workouts Tomas

Cyan, If you want to have flexibility on front and side splits, you have to do : 1. joint rotations (1 minute); 2. aerobic activity ( 7 minutes); 3. some static stretches ( not nesesary); 4. then siting into front and side split positions.

Oh, boy... Probably as usuall, people in situations like I am into, getting confused. I will try to put everything into places, with people, like you - wynnema, CrazyBoy, help. So it seems that I start with : 1. general warm-up ( 5 minutes) Then i start with : 2. warm-up stretching ( dynamic stretch...

Take care

Thanks Jim, for link you gave me.

Hello, I read your's recomendations in stretching program (side and front splits), and I un derstand, that every human being is somehow diferent.
