Stretching Principle #2: Alternate Between Sides





•#2
    Alternate between sides while stretching (for example, right achilles with knee straight, then left achilles, then right, then left).

Another solid principle of stretching is to alternate between sides when you have to do more than one set on each side. A good example is the achilles shown above. The alternating stretches are:
  1. Right side 30 second stretch with the knee straight
  2. Left side 30 second stretch with the knee straight
  3. Right side 30 second stretch with the knee bent
  4. Left side 30 second stretch with the knee bent
  5. And then we start over for the second set with Right side 30 second stretch with the knee straight
  6. Left side 30 second stretch with the knee straight
  7. Right side 30 second stretch with the knee bent
  8. Left side 30 second stretch with the knee bent
Everyone finds that the second set the stretch is much deeper and more effective.
