Stretching and Flexibility
Active Stretching: One may assume a position and then hold it without the assistance of others. This is an exercise to increase the strength of your antagonist muscles. An example of this is seen when one brings their leg high off of the ground and holds it there in an extended position. 10 seconds is the recommended time limit for this type of stretch. Once your body gets used to active stretching, you may challenge your muscles and resistance by increasing the amount of time you hold your stretches.
