I’d say some variation is definitely good. You want to stretch all of your muscles, even the ones you don’t use everyday. However, I think you need to stretch your biggest muscles everyday. They are the ones your are using when working out, and stretching is how we maintain flexibility and hopefully prevent injury. So use some variation, but don’t leave out your regular stretches either.
Variety of course but also think of your tight areas. Don’t make the routine too complicated though or you won’t do it.
Since I am still working on forming this habit. I feel having to come up with variations cost more energy, which may organically stop me doing it every day. But if you are into it, I guess just be
My experience shows me that a core group of streaching exercise s helps if rotated . However flow of where the body informs us is integrated into the routine to great benefit
I think keeping a mostly similar routine is best for consistency, but once the habit of stretching is made, changing things up a bit definitely won’t hurt. Plus, it helps you gain flexibility in new places. And flexibility is actually quite useful in certain exercise!
Do what feels good. That’s what I tell myself when stretching. I usually have some basic moves I do all the time but my body’s needs are constantly changing so I like to adapt my stretching habits accordingly.
Im not sure. I think you have to stretch the same muscle every day for at least 1min to see improvements. Then when you are finished stretching out the muscle, you could move on to focusing on stretching another muscle. But always stretch the former muscle at least once or twice per week. Otherwise it will get shorter again. But i do believe it’s a good thing to stretch muscles in different variations as well.
I think they should not stay the same, so that you try something new each day. Keeping them the same is like eating he same food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I recommend trying a new stretching variation each day or up to two days a different one.
I get bored with the same routine. But when I am learning I want it easy to learn so I will like repetitive movements and to slow music till I get what I am doing then I like to change it up a little.
I say you should add variation. It creates an amazing feeling of not having to stick to the same routine that you just push through.
