I do several stretches pointed out as no-nos in that article. I have a little routine that I always do, much of which I borrowed from Janet Evans' book. But after reading that I'm thinking I might just quit stretching altogether.
:confused:
Someone posted a link to an article in one of these forums last year that was a scientific paper stating just about identical bad and good stretches. For awhile, about 30 years ago, I used to do some of the no-nos, but now do more yoga stretches than anything.
I like the feel of the suggested warm-ups and will give them a try, as my dry-land warmup is usually a few slow arm circles (same direction).
