One widespread belief about strength training is that it makes you “muscle bound” and inflexible.
To counter this, the common recommendation is to “stretch what you strengthen” by doing some form of stretching after a workout.
However, while stretching is traditionally seen as the best way to increase your flexibility, it’s not the only way to do it.
In fact, there is a very simple way to improve your flexibility without doing any stretching at all.
It doesn’t involve adding anything to your workout. In fact, this may actually save you time in the gym.
Nor does it require standing on Swiss balls, vibration plates, BOSU balls or any of the other gimmicks that seem so popular right now.
Strange as it may sound, regular strength training can improve your flexibility as well as, or even better than, typical static stretching.
