I'm just starting out doing MMA and looking to increase my flexibility throughout my whole body. I am mainly looking to increase my hamstring/groin flexibility for high kicks as I'm very stiff at the moment. I used to do kickboxing years ago but through just playing football and lifting weights my flexibility has gone!
I was considering doing Fitness/Sport Yoga, but may just do my own daily routine. But I need some help with the best exercises to do. I have the following general rules to stick by:
- Perform the stretches AFTER a workout when the muscles are warm
- Hold each stretch for 30-60 seconds (dont bounce)
Have any of you had any difficulty with flexibility? Do you have any recommendations?
