What is Ballistic Stretching

ballistic stretchinggym workoutsinjury preventionmuscle flexibilitypre-exercise warmupstrength trainingstretching techniques

A ballistic stretch characteristically involves active muscular exertion and uses a ‘bouncing-type’ movement in which the end point is not held. It is frequently used in the pre-exercise warm-up; yet, it may possibly injure muscles or connective tissues, particularly when there has been a prior injury. Ballistic stretching typically triggers the stretch reflex that does not permit the involved muscles to relax and defeats the purpose of stretching.

Easy to swallow

I’ve been taking these for a week, and I do feel a little bit brighter in myself. I struggle with the dark mornings at this time of the year, and I really think these have given me the extra boost that I need.

Arrived fast, and love the paper packaging instead of the traditional plastic bottles. Have only been taking for one week, can't wait to see the difference in my body.

I received the collagen capsules only yesterday (10th October) but I consider the delivery to be prompt because I live in Western Australia. I find the fitnesshealth service to be very reliable and the products good value for money. I also get ginger tablets from you, and I find that both products have positive effects on my health. Thank you very much. Lesley Fahey.
