    Stretches To Improve Your Flexibility


    It is important for especially dancers to be flexible and have ease of motion through their muscles. To help attain flexibility and ease of motion, they will need to stretch as a mean of exercise. But before starting any stretching exercise, you should know your body limits.

    Stretches To Improve Your Flexibility


    Do not bounce or pulse in any stretched position or have someone push you into a stretched position. This will cause undue stress on your muscles. If youre experiencing excessive pain after any stretching exercise, do not continue until you speak with your dance instructor or your family physician.

    Pike Leg Stretch


    Pike leg stretches are for the hamstrings. To do this stretch, you sit on the floor and with your feet pointed straight ahead of you. Bend your torso forward. Reach for your toes. If you can touch your feet, try to get your chest down flat on your legs. Try flexing your feet and grasping the soles of your feet with your hands. This helps increase leg flexibility in the pike stretch.

    Chest Stretch Chest stretches open up the chest and helps improve your posture. To do this stretch, place your hands behind your head with your elbows facing in front of you. You can do this while sitting crosslegged or standing. As you exhale, pull your elbows out to the sides of your head until you feel a stretch across your chest. Hold this for 30 seconds. When pulling your arms back, also focus on contracting your back muscles to intensify the stretch.

    Leg Stretch
    The leg stretch helps relieve muscle tension at the back of your legs. To do this, bend from your waist and pull your abs toward your spine. At the same time, while bending your right knee, extend your left leg. Press your hands on your left thigh and press into the stretch position. Repeat this step with your other leg. Dont try to lock your legs. Always maintain a slight bend in your knee.

    Inner Thigh
    The inner thigh stretch helps prevent the inner thigh from training or straining during exercise. To do this stretch, sit on the ground and extend your legs in front of your body. Bend your knees. Place your feet together side by side, flat on the ground. Place your hands on your calves. Then slowly let your knees fall open to each side. Slide the soles of your feet together. Rest your hands on the ankles.

    Inner Thigh
    Gently round your spine and roll your shoulders forward. Lean slowly forward, lowering your upper body toward your legs. Stop when you feel the stretch in your inner thighs. Hold this for 30 seconds. Do these stretches regularly to increase your flexibility and prevent muscle soreness after a performance or exercise.
