Stretching Myths: What You Should Stop Believing
Not all stretching advice is helpful. Let’s separate fact from fiction.
Stretching is important, but many beliefs about it are outdated:
- Myth: You must stretch before exercise. Truth: Warm up first, then stretch.
- Myth: Holding a stretch longer is always better. Truth: Overstretching can cause injury.
- Myth: Stretching prevents all injuries. Truth: It's only one part of injury prevention.
- Myth: You should feel pain. Truth: Stretching should never be painful.
Use dynamic stretches before and static stretches after your workouts for best results.
