Are you still watching your stretching on 1D?

Don’t be lame! It’s 2014 and its time to update your stretching.

 

UPGRADE 

 

 

Using 3d stretching will give you a whole new feeling of uncomfortable tension and benefit not usually experienced in your stretching routine. It’s like discovering people you never knew lived underneath your stairs.

Most people stretch a muscle in one plane of motion or direction.

Look at the below muscles most of them do not run in a strait line. They run in diagonal patterns. This is the pattern of most muscles. 

Stretching in a traditional 1D direction is cheating your self out of a great stretching experience. You are only stretching one direction or third of the muscle.

 

HOW to UPGRADE to 3D stretching

To update your stretching experience we must move in the following 3 ways.

1)      Front to back

2)      Side to side

3)      Rotational
