Most people start their training routine with high-intensity moves.
High-intensity dance workouts are more appealing, But they are often linked with high risks of injury. People often get injured, damage their muscles, and then not able to continue.
It is evident that when you exercise, you feel pain in your body in the beginning. That pain should be good, not bad pain. By bad pain I mean, pain that leads to strained muscles.
Strained muscles keep you from a consistent workout. Instead of healthy and active life, you get into trouble.
That should not happen.
Exercise yield results only with consistency.
Then how can you prevent your muscles from damaging and follow a comfortable stretching routine?
First, understand:
There are two types of stretches depending upon workout intensity.
1. HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)
2. LIIT (Low-Intensity Interval Training)
HIIT:
HIIT is high-intensity training in which you work out for a short period — 20, 30 sec and then take a break for the next interval and recover slowly. In HIIT, because you do your moves fast with high intensity, it burns more calories, and you can get most of your workout in a shorter span.
Examples of HIIT are burpees, rope skipping, jumping squats, etc.
LIIT:
LIIT is low-intensity training in which you train in combatively lengthy intervals, go more slowly, and hold there to build endurance.
Examples of LIIT are planks, yoga postures, etc.
Where to start?
As a beginner, always start with LIIT because it has less prospect of injury.
Additionally, LIIT is best to practice endurance because you focus more on your proper posture. Intervals are lengthened than in HIIT.
Overall, it helps to stretch your body muscles beyond the normal length slowly. You can train your muscles without straining them.
As a beginner, focus on opening your tight body muscles, tissues, legs, etc., through LIIT.
Once your body is ready, then move on towards HIIT.
