Do you know any good resources for stretching?

  • Infographics

  • Websites

  • Youtube videos or channels

  • Etc.

Dos and don'ts are also useful.

I have no issues or problems but I am in late middle age and my level of inflexibility disturbs me a little. So I'm going to stretch twice a day so that as the months go on - things will improve.

I already started using my rowing machine a lot so I want to continue to be on a roll.

    I don't have any resources, but I have had success with dynamic stretching (also called active stretching). I've been doing something similar to this but add walking butt kicks (stretches quads) and for the squats I hold one long one as I walk the squat sideways. I don't do running during the stretches, just walking at a leisurely pace and focusing on the stretch. And another one where you lock your knees (if you feel safe to balance) and stretch your hamstrings with each step, I call those ones Frankensteins.

    Edit: actually I thought of one resource. I really like the YouTube channel Hybrid Calisthenics he meets people where they are at and always offers modified versions in case you can't do the regular one. stretching YouTube playlist
