Mistakes in stretching muscles that destroy the body after 50 years old

Thanh Thanh |

Eat this not that page points out mistakes in stretching that can damage the body after the age of 50.

Insufficient stretching time

A bad habit is not holding a stretch long enough for the exercise to be effective. We need to hold the stretch for at least 30 seconds to 1 minute to get the best results.

Additionally, holding a stretch for too long, such as more than 2 minutes, especially when you are just starting out in your stretching routine, can cause overstretching of the muscles, leading to pain or injury.

Incorrect stretching form and posture

With age-related muscle changes, proper technique and form become even more important. Incorrect stretching posture not only reduces the effectiveness of a stretching exercise, but can also exacerbate mobility issues.

Don't breathe deeply with your belly.

Deep diaphragmatic breathing (belly breathing) is key to relaxing the muscles while stretching, allowing for a deeper stretch. This is especially important as muscles become more tense as we age.
