Why I Stopped Rushing My Warm-Up
Used to blast through stretching before gymnastics, thinking it was just a box to check. Turns out, slowing down actually makes practice way smoother (and less painful).
🔸 For shoulders, pull one arm across your chest, then switch. Add a tricep stretch by pulling your elbow behind your head. Quick, but your arms will thank you.
🔸 Wake up your core by leaning back with your hands on your lower back. Seal stretch is a must—lie on your stomach, push up with your arms, and feel those abs open up.
🔸 Butterfly stretch for hips, then hit a downward dog for hamstrings. Push your hips up, heels down, and let your legs loosen up.
Hold each stretch for about 15 seconds, repeat a couple times. It’s simple, but you’ll feel the difference in every move you make.
