This Guide Shows You Which Muscles You Are Training When You Stretch.
Have you ever wondered what happens in your body when you stretch? This series of images provides more than a superficial idea of which muscles are involved in common stretching exercises and yoga poses.
These images also give you insight into movements that don’t quite resemble what your gym buddy or yoga teacher is describing. For example, in the lunge above, when you go deep enough into the stretch, you will feel it both in your thigh and in a deeper, hard to describe area. Difficult to describe in words, but the picture makes it crystal clear.
Images were created by Vicky Timon and James Kilgallon. See the complete kit at the link below.
