I think there are some research on google that states how much improvement you can see if you stretch one muscle for one minute every day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tomas S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I\u2019d say don\u2019t go more than a few days between stretching or you\u2019ll have to build the flexibility back up. Within a few days of stretching you\u2019ll start noticing a difference.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Karla G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I wouldn\u2019t know because I just started taking classes and I sure am not flexible. Practice, motivation and patience is the key. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alma W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well I think it depense how much do you work. If you\u2019re really  trying to do your best, you could have flexible body in about 20-30 days.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Terrence N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well , I have been practicing yoga for a year and a half now . And for me yoga is not only about flexibility but also about precision . And so for me it is a path of continuous improvement <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Victor A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Every body is different, I would say take your time and enjoy the journey of discovering your own body\u2019s limits. Not everyone can bend into a pretzel in 3 weeks.. I myself am stiff as a board and if I don\u2019t stretch for a week it\u2019s back to square 1. It\u2019s all about practice and persistence, but the light at the end of that tunnel BRIGHT honey \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Emilie G.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Depends on what you mean by flexible body \ud83d\ude04. First results are usually noticeable either right away or in 3-4 lessons (depending on how well one feels their body and how much have they done of any sports before), of course, those results might not be what one expects! \ud83d\ude42 Generally, I&#39;d say after 6 weeks of everyday or fairly regular practice, things should happen&#8230; Judging by my experience of 20 years with yoga and Taiji. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alena Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Depending on your starting level and target level. If you are already familiar to everything but just have to increase flexibility, it can go quite fast. If you go past your limits everytime you can reach certain flexes (like a split) within a couple of weeks. Do note that this is not the correct way, you get quick results but you also risk injuries.<br \/>\nIf starting from scratch, set certain goals, like standing up and touching toes with legs straight, next do it while sitting, put head between knees while sitting, learn the bridge pose, get your balance in check (crane pose works well for this) by that time you&#39;ll have a general idea of flexibility and the development of it and the different muscle groups used in which stretching exercise. To reach actual gymnast flexibility from scratch and not make it your daily work will take multiple months if not years. General exercising also helps a lot (cardio + strength training) as it works the muscles and more muscle means stronger connections means better core and nicer poses &#x3D; less risk of injury.<br \/>\nGoodluck and stay fabulous!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Luna E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I personally think it is different for every person. Some might get flexibel in a a few week but others may need a few months or even a year. The most important here is to not give up and to keep going. After a while you will see the results and you will be so happy you kept stretching&#x2F;doing yoga even though you progressed so slowly in the beginning.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marcus W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Flexible it is the opposite of rigid, so you need to move and stretch or you will break Like a rigid tree that leaves when the winds are very strong because it has no flexibility, so flexibility it is important in you body as in your mind.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Lic Nio T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Well I&#39;m not qualified to answer that question. However, past experience would lead me to believe 30 days would absolutely show you a change. You may see changes earlier but you really should be able to notice something significant after 30 days of continuous building on the habit.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Maja Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When practicing daily, you will start feeling the difference after a month or 3.<br \/>\nTry to put variation in the exercise to strengthen different parts of the body and to keep motivated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marleen Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It doesn&#39;t necessarily depend on the time. It&#39;s the quality. If you stretch daily and push yourself even more, then you get a flexible body. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Victoria J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You will start to feel the difference in 2 to 4 weeks if you practice 5 days a week. But you will get more flexible over time as you practice all depends the time you spend to practice.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Romane Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It takes time and it all depends on the person. Just keep going and you will notice the changes in flexibility one random day<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Leonor F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I am pretty young so my body is pretty flexible already but I was able to do the side splits in a few weeks from just stretching my legs for about five minutes daily.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Her Dia Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">3 weeks is the average and it also depends on the person&#39;s physique. For someone who have never done any stretching and has higher fat ratio to muscle, I believe they might struggle at first but will soon find it easy after 3 weeks.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Emily W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">You see the biggest changes in the first 6-8 weeks of a training programme however I\u2019ve practiced yoga for a number of years and continually improve&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melina Q.
