We recommend a break every hour, or even every 30 minutes if you’re able to. Think of it as training your body to stay in shape and keep moving.
2 Basic Types of Stretches:
- Static: a stretch to lengthen a stiff muscle by taking it passively to its end range for a prolonged period of time.
- Dynamic: a stretch used to prime a muscle for activity or sport by using momentum to take it throughout its full range of motion.
There are many other stretch techniques, all of which have their specific benefits, but for our purposes here, we’ll talk about static and dynamic stretching.
