How To Become Incredibly Flexible Without Ever Stretching Again
The secret lies in these 3 clever exercises…
Did you know that you don’t have to stretch a day in your life to get flexible? It may sound crazy, but I promise there’s another way to achieve that sought-after limber state. While static stretching has some limited benefits, it’s by no means the best path to becoming more supple. If you dive deeper into the science, it quickly becomes apparent that resistance training (yes, you read that right) is miles ahead, despite very little attention being brought to it.
While many believe that lifting weights will only leave you sore and stiff, the evidence says otherwise. If done correctly, this form of training can do wonders for your flexibility and range of motion, far beyond what static stretching has the power to do.
The best part is that it takes far less time to go down this route. While static stretching can be time-consuming and dull, functional movements like the three below can transform your tissues in an efficient, engaging way. As long as you’re consistent with it, you’ll start discovering new benefits of weightlifting that you didn’t even think were possible.
