It makes sense to do dynamic stretching before working out and then do isometric and static stretches afterwards. That's what I usually do for running, but I don't why I haven't done it for Kung Fu... <BR/><BR/>Yeah, the couch can be dangerous. I am staying away from anything soft. They lull you into a sense of complacency and then blammmo!! You can't walk for a few days.Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03484348697659266914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-279352330626151767.post-87383595745330396512008-04-20T10:45:00.000-04:002008-04-20T10:45:00.000-04:00So, Mr. Science says, and Mr. Neo's experience als...So, Mr. Science says, and Mr. Neo's experience also says, that static stretching (like we do in the middle of class) makes you uncoordinated and weak. This also includes isometric and pnf stretches. I've noticed that if I take it easy during our stretching break that my waibatuis are faster and have better form.<BR/><BR/>Before working out, Mr. Science says you should do dynamic stretches. You know, like caijaio, cetatui, juntitui, etc. Take that Mr. Science, you're late to the game!<BR/><BR/>Mr. Science says (I agree), that after your workout, you should do isometric stretches, then relaxed static stretches. This will make you more flexible, stronger at the limits of your range of motion, and recover faster.<BR/><BR/>As for your ankle, I dunno man. I screwed up my ankle almost as badly getting off the couch once. I had an old injury from TKD on that ankle, but still, getting off the couch? It's always the stupid stuff.Jeremiah Blatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16176304992522513306noreply@blogger.com
