Brain Bites -Flexibility with Audio

is it brain bites or flexibility? I'm your PE pal. I'm a bendy. My friends call me Gumby because I can stretch and bend like Gumby. Today's topic is flexibility. Synonyms, limberness, pliability. Flexibility is the ability to bend and move the joints through the full range of motion. The benefits of being flexible, fewer injuries, improved physical performance, improved posture and balance, less muscle pain. How do I get more flexible? By stretching. I do dynamic stretching before activity and static stretching after activity. Make sure he stretches through the entire range of motion to increase his flexibility. Turn and talk. Compare and contrast static stretching and dynamic stretching. Mirror, mirror. Face your partner and practice some static stretches. One partner does an upper body stretch and one does a lower body stretch. Hold each stretch for at least 15 seconds. Follow the leader. Make a line with your partner or group. The leader chooses a dynamic exercise for everyone to follow. Rotate the leader. You really stretched your brain to the limit. Thanks for joining us for Brain Bites.
