You can also see a video here:
These are basically just yoga straps (see below) with a loop so they can mark it up a couple
dollars and sell it specifically to cheerleaders (~$10)...
Yoga straps (~$6-8) are helpful for some poses where your hands are supposed
to meet but can't, or you can't grab your foot or the ground, etc...
BUT I didn't realize there were so many other types of stretching equipment available. For instance, who wants to pay $17 for this contraption?
Or better yet, $280--no, i didn't forget a decimal--for this found at karatedepot.com?
Instead, I think I'll use some other techniques that don't involve me losing money. One of these ways is yoga.
I like this site b/c it has a lot of information on different types of yoga, a bunch of poses, recipes, spirituality, etc.
This site has some tips on increasing flexibility and also a 'cheer workout' alternating for 5 days between strengthening/power and endurance/aerobics. I like finding new workout routines because it gives me a set plan and keeps me from getting bored.
This one has good info on different types of stretching like dynamic training that is suggested to improve flexibility and also discusses benefits of flexibility and factors that can limit it (room temperature).
