We're Knitted Inside.
Let's do longer stretches. They build healthful, permanent changes. They build a richer value into our fascia. These fascia bind our muscles. We use longer, fun, body motions. If we keep on we'll hold our poses for short periods. We'll get a nice sense of release. Still, we aren't going to get the muscle structure shifts. These are the shifts that add up to a long range boost in flexibility.
If we hold heart warmed, novel moves 90 to 120 seconds. Then we change the "ground substance" of our fascia. Ground substance is our non fibrous, gel like' binding agent. Our DNA embeds collagen and elastin in our fibrous connective tissues. Our ground substance can stabilize and lubricate our connective tissue. If this pith is tight or sludgy it can limit how we flex. It can speed the rate we age. Longer stretches, of sweet motives, do set off healthy, long range changes. These become the juicy flexes of our fascia. Almost every playful body motion will improve the cellular quality of this varied and vital tissue of ours.
