This full body flexibility routine involves a 5-10 minute warm up of light cardio followed by stretching each major muscle group for 15-30 seconds per stretch while gradually increasing range of motion but not bouncing or forcing stretches. Stretches should be held to the point of mild or medium discomfort. The routine includes stretches for the lower back, quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, hips, glutes, shoulders, lats, triceps, butterfly, and neck with no rest between stretches and a focus on smooth transitions between each stretch.

MX Full Body Flexibility Routine

Notes:
Begin with a short warm-up doing any cardiovascular activity at a low intensity for 5-10 minutes.
Stretching is best done while muscles are still warm from a prior activity; so do not skip the warm-up.
Once warm, hold stretches for 15-30 seconds, gradually increasing the range of motion. Do not bounce or
force stretches. Stretch to the point of mild to medium discomfort and hold. Inhale deeply at the start of
the stretch gradually exhaling as you slowly increase the range of motion. Relax…..this should feel GOOD!
