stretch positions that exceed the agility required for Muay
Thai techniques. Remember that too much agility
increases your risk of injury.
Start agility training with a moderate warm-up exercise
of about ten minutes. Only a warmed-up body can take on
intensive stretch positions. In the main part of the
training, concentrate on ɻexibility and stretch all muscle
groups, speciɹcally targeting your weak points and those
areas you are focusing on in training. Conclude the
stretch training with a cool-down exercise at low intensity
for about ɹve minutes. Plan about sixty to ninety minutes
for a complete stretch training session, including the
warm-up and cool-down phases.
In your agility training you can use all the stretching
methods to reach your goals. Stretch your muscles
intensively, and hold the stretch position for ten to sixty
seconds. Avoid areas of pain in your training. You will see
success in your agility training if you stretch intensively at
least twice a week.
