What are Stretch classes?

People in most countries form the idea that yoga or pilates is a group stretch class, & some studios in Singapore still do a set amount of static stretches to muscle groups during the stretch session/ classes. In order for the body to improve flexibility, stretches need to be exercises that workout the mobility in your joints, & access to movement/ activities that most people have neglected. The idea that yoga or pilates will give you a stretch session to particularly improve flexibility, mobility in the hips, hamstrings, back & all the problems areas, but it doesn't as there are a range of neuromuscular technique that we use during our stretch classes/ sessions with the instructor, & that is what makes everything specific in our stretching classes. Stretch classes, are fitness classes/workout as a lot of time spent during the exercises is to expose your body to stretches that are dynamic covering all common problem areas. Muscles need to be warm when trying to improve flexibility, thus unlike a yoga class, a specific group stretching workout in the studio will involve some form of movement but not to be confused with a workout with weights or strength training, as all our stretching class are based on using just the weight of your body.

How to improve my range of motion?

While it's something that we don't think about until there are aches & pains in our body, an ideal range of motion is part of having a pain-free life. There are many ways to help improve your range of motion, & problem areas such as the lower back, hips, ankles which lose strength & stability causing the body structure to hold a higher risk of injury during fitness activities. Flexibility is just one part of an overall requirement, especially for athletes, fitness must cover the different intensity & types of stretches that are specific to avoid injuries.

What is a pure stretch class?

In Singapore, many gym/studios offer a mix of stretching sessions (some with foam rolling etc) but are not specific to target the body in such a way that allows a release of the muscle spindles, & Golgi tendon in the muscles. Stretches session done is all studios in Singapore don't allow for the best type of myofascial release, & the functions of the joints to restore the length, & elasticity of the tissues. A pure stretch class is something that focuses on just stretching without any other movement frills or old skool approach(static stretches etc).

What are the 3 types of stretching?

1. Dynamic(movement based)
2. Static(holding of stretches)
3. Ballistics(think jumping to squat)

Most if not all movements/ exercises will take you through the exploration of dynamic movements, targeting the joints to move, followed by the loading on the ligaments, tendons, & muscles(fascia). The stretching class involves a lot fo the nervous system to facilitate deeper stretch & control of your limbs.
