(Affirmations for increased flexibility are also great) I hope this helped, and I wish you luck with your flexibility. \ud83d\ude42 <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">S Vio Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you mean physical flexibility, then the easiest would be daily practice of yoga. There are many free channels on YouTube and you can do ones specific to stretching. If you mean mental flexibility, I recommend reading The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Wilma S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Ballistic stretching, performed under the supervision of a healthcare&#x2F;trained professional will rapidly increase flexibility, however can be dangerous if not done properly. A consistent gentle stretching program done daily (either on its own or with a workout) is a safer option. On days where stretches are done on their own, rather than at the end of a workout, a hot bath or a 10min walk to warm up the muscles immediately prior to stretching will increase results and reduce chance of injury. Each stretch should be held for between 20-40 seconds. Mix up static stretching with dynamic flexibility activities, such as yoga, to avoid plateauing and to maintain motivation.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Filinto S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">first you need to move. warm up, work out &#8211; and then it\u2019s time to stretch. focus upon 25 seconds of steady stretching per side. go slow. don\u2019t bob up and down! be gentle but also massage your body in the places needing flexibility. strength and mobility &#x3D; flexibility. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marin O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yoga, yoga, yoga! Can&#39;t emphasise enough how good this is for increasing flexibility. But it also has many other benefits such as improving mental clarity and relaxing the mind. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jonathan B.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I used to be really flexible. And I started  to notice that I could not do simple things like touch my toes. So<br \/>\nI decided that I should try and do stretching 1 to two times a day. Of course I am not completely regular on doing it but I have noticed that I am becoming more flexible. To  rap it up I recommend that you add stretching to your morning and or night routines. I hope you found this helpful.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Dennis Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If you hold your stretches longer and breath through the tension you may find your flexibility  improving a little more day by day, but don\u2019t push through pain as it may cause injury and try to warm up 1st. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Debra J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Start with a few minutes of stretching in the morning and before going to sleep. Submit to a yoga course or do it by yourself 2&#x2F;3 days a week. Download a yoga app that guides you and reminds you to do your yoga practice or choose and follow a yoga youtube channel.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Sheila U.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">The only way to increase flexibility is to do it gradually over a period of weeks and months. Look at Yogis (yoga masters). It take time, patience &amp; practice. Do the right stretches for the area you want to be more flexible in. You can only do what your body lets you. Just be patient &amp; persevere. \ud83d\ude4f<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Nathaniel F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Just by doing your daily stretches. Don\u2019t overdo it though, because you\u2019re not<br \/>\nplaydough and you could hurt yourself.<br \/>\nBecoming flexible doesn\u2019t happen overnight, but it doesn\u2019t happen unless you stretch.<br \/>\nDo your research and find good yoga and stretching poses, and you\u2019ll see results before you know it!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alison E.
