New, quick and relatively easy stretching method. I will begin using this method today and report back after some time my results.

Has it helped at all Mike?

I have been using this stretching method for a few weeks, at least three times a week following my running or shredding sessions, and it has shown some promise. One thing I highly stress is that if you try this method of stretching you must BE VERY CAREFUL not to throw yourself into a stretch position. Because this method of stretching involves holding a stretch for two seconds, relaxing for two seconds, then repeating the stretch, you may find yourself rushing from one position to another. It is important that you make smooth transitions between stretching and relaxing, otherwise you risk the chance of pulling and overstretching your muscles.
