Stretching for Flexibility
Static stretching is essential for increasing limb range of motion, particularly for hamstrings. Research indicates that holding stretches for 30 seconds is optimal, as extending the duration or frequency does not yield additional benefits. By incorporating consistent 30-second holds into your routine, you can effectively enhance flexibility over time.In this clip

What does Huberman mean by this: "Holding static stretches is the best way to improve your overall flexibility. Hold each major muscle group in a static stretch for 30-60 seconds and repeat between 3x/week and daily. I do this at night before sleep or while waiting for dinner to cook or (confession!) while on work calls. While holding the stretch, long exhales will further relax muscles and deepen the stretch."?
