April 27, 201511 yr Title says it all really. Classes 2 days a week and at the moment stretching 2 other days a week. Should I increase or keep the rest/recovery days?Been doing the Ginjaninjatricker basic stretching program off Youtube. plus a few other bits and pieces.

April 27, 201511 yr In relation to stretching are you doing them dynamically or static? Stretching should be a daily thing and not only twice a week. For rest/recovery days you currently are doing it just as much as you are active. On average you should have 2 recovery days per week. so the other days are to be active days, but the other two should still be light activity.
April 27, 201511 yr Author OK thanks. Short cardio warm up then stretching. Hold for 12 seconds each stretch.Will up my activity a bit........................ "We don't have any money, so we will have to think" - Ernest Rutherford
April 27, 201511 yr I agree with the sentiment of stretching daily.It does not need to be full on stretching sessions, but keeping loose and maintaining flexibility is key for mobility and to ensure that no injuries occur when throwing high kicks or contorting during grappling/throwing.
