Active Isolated Stretching is in the house!!!

What is AIS and do I need it?

This technique of stretching is holding the stretch for 2 to 3 seconds at a time and then return to original position, Stretching a little further each time.

This will Increase blood flow to the area and not cause micro tears in the muscle.

Stretching sessions are about 30 minutes of focused work on a specific muscle group, or area associated. The targeted muscle will be lengthened without triggering the productive stretch reflex or fatiguing the muscle.

The benefit is that the stretches do not result in opposing tension or result in trauma. Athletes can use the stretches pre-or post event with no need to warm up. They can be used as a warm-up right before a competition or training to get the blood flowing to a certain muscle group, which prevents a lot of waste buildup during the competition or training and then post event right after a competition to help flush out any waste buildup. 

Good for athletes and everyone in between that just needs stretched.
