The Surprising Benefits of Weighted Stretching
- Weighted stretching combines mobility and strength training, making your joints more stable and flexible at the same time
- Even very light weights, such as 1 to 2 pounds, are enough to activate stabilizing muscles and expand your range of motion
- Holding stretches under load for 20 to 30 seconds creates lasting improvements in flexibility and muscle growth
- Weighted stretching can be done with everyday items like soup cans or books, making it easy to start at home without special equipment
- Progressing from simple moves to advanced drills like Turkish get-ups keeps your body challenged and builds confidence in daily movement
