Different ways to stretch the same muscle group

In the most basic terms, stretching a muscle is simply extending a joint through the plane of movement it was designed to travel in. For each muscle group, this can be performed in multiple ways with varying degrees of intensity. Like other workout activities, some stretching exercises are more advanced than others.

A choice of stretching exercise positions

Seated stretching positions

Stretching and flexibility exercises can be performed from a seated position. All major muscle groups can be worked using the stability of a chair, stool or even a step. Full body stretching routines can be carried out in this way.

lying stretching positions

Stretching from a lying position is a great option for some trainers. Some find these stretches to be more relaxing, so perfect for passive stretching techniques.

Standing stretches

Full body stretching routines can be performed from a standing position without any equipment. Often trainers will vary the positions in a stretching routine by mixing in standing, sitting and lying positions, depending on their ability and comfort of individual exercises.

Stretching with equipment

Although it is not necessary for some trainers, the use of minimal stretching aids can enhance progression with flexibility and mobility. Equipment such as a wall, step, rope or even rolled up towel can add variation to a stretching routine.

Stretching routines

Follow along

Having a plan and routine to follow can help with more than simply knowing what to do in a workout. A plan can help us to stay on track, give us accountability and motivation.

Create your own

A “cookie cutter” stretching plan might work well for some people, but having something that is bespoke is far more valuable.

2-day split

A 2-day split is a form of exercise planning that uses 2 separate workouts; an “A” workout and a “B” workout. Normally these workouts focus on muscle groups that work in synergy with each other.
