Tips to Safe and Successful Stretching:

Stretch just until you feel gentle pulling in your muscles, then hold the stretch.
The stretch shouldn’t be painful.
Stretch gently and smoothly. Do not bounce.
Breathe naturally as you hold the stretch. Don’t hold your breath.
Repeat stretches as needed, slowly increasing their depth over time.

Tips to Safely and Successfully Use Resistance Bands:

Use a resistance band or tube with foam handles. They’re easier to grip.
Or add foam pipe insulation to bands or tubes to create handles.
Handles not an option? Opt for resistance tubes. They’re gentler on hands.
Resistance tubes and bands come in many lengths and resistance levels. Don’t rely on their color to gauge these factors. Manufacturers use different colors to indicate them.
Try different ones to find the best fit.
The last few reps in a set should be difficult, but not impossible.
