      just do the movement you will be doing at a lighter resistance; if you doing squats, then do bodyweight squats for warm-ups and do them at a faster pace than your workout pace

  • @AaronYogi
    @AaronYogi 2 месяца назад +7

    So much of what this doctor said is inaccurate. She has little to no understanding of biomechanics. Any form of passive stretching will impair muscle function leaving you disabled. Muscles need to shorten/contract in order to move bones and stabilize joints. And there is absolutely no reason to force muscles to elongate. This is one of the biggest myths that is perpetuated that is wrong.

    • @nuvamusic
      @nuvamusic 2 месяца назад +4

      She did say that for warm-up phase, it is active stretching, which is the right kind of stretching to do. Now, you mean to say that there's absolutely no place for any passive stretching at all, either after exercise or any other moment? Which means that yoga and pilates are all harmful?

    • @AaronYogi
      @AaronYogi 2 месяца назад +1

      Passive stretching will always shut muscles down/turn them off. Muscles lose their ability to function properly (contract on demand) after passive stretching. So it never makes sense to do it.
      And the idea that you have to make muscles longer to function better doesn’t make any sense bio mechanically.
      I have a podcast called “Stop Stretching!” If you want to learn more.
