One of my Taekwando master told me about the 3 Ts. Temperature, you need warm muscles. Tension, stretch until you hit your limit. Time, hold the tension for as long as possible, the longer the better. And of course you need consistency. Doing it everyday.
@mikeboosh8776

Not sure I'd agree with the last T. All the literature I've seen says that beyond 30 seconds any gain in flexibility is minimal and you're pretty much wasting time that could be spent stretching something else.

Could go further and push for PNF stretching, where you stretch for 6 sec then flex that muscle for another 6 sec and repeat. It’s the idea that stretching is not actually a limitation in your muscles but your brain not allowing your muscles to stretch further. By consciously flexing that muscle you bypass that reflex response and allow yourself to push a bit further, reconditioning yourself quicker. It’s scientifically the fastest way to get to your split.

Maybe I can just maintain on the harder days, but it's frustrating how it slows or even stops progress.

@@FireflowerDancer If that's your situation, don't focus on stretching for flexibility progress but look up pain relieving stretches. Do those consistently until your pain hopefully lessens or even goes away entirely. From there you can set your sights on a full stretching routine. For me, spending literally just 2 minutes a day to stretch my back removed back pains I've had for over 10 years after just a couple weeks of doing it consistently, it's worth it, you can do it! :D

Yep - my first goal was touching my toes, and even now after months of not specifically focusing on that skill, I can still comfortably do so and often go past the toe-touch. You will slowly lose flexibility over time if you don't practice at all, but (particularly if you're still doing at least SOME flexibility work) it takes a lot lot longer to lose than people realise, and is easier to regain if you DO lose it

It's also crucial to remind people not to stretch their tendons but rather to stretch the muscles, because there are still lots and lots of people who still stretch "the old way" - they just get into a position and force their way through it, sometimes even with another person pushing them over their limits. Which is completely tragic and cause your tendons and ligaments to be torn apart and they are NOT designed to be stretched. The correct way of stretching is to focus on relaxing your *muscles* in a stretching position and going deeper *slowly* , never in a "pumping" motion, but always small step at a time. I'm writing it for the people who don't know and actually care for their health, cause David surely knows it very well already Stay flexy :D
