Glad to have you here, I look forward to watching you progress! I promise the more you build strength in your flexibility, the more comfortable everything will be. When I first started I couldn’t believe how much muscle concentration was involved in flexibility! 🙂
You can certainly do the static stretching routine with no movement whatsoever. In this case the movement will serve as a way you can alter each static stretch after holding, as well as how to cycle through good form points. I can recommend you hold each specific movement within 1 gif for 10-20 deep breaths, or however long you’d like. Sometimes I’ll do the movement exactly as shown with each breath for 10 seconds and then hold it as a static stretch for 10-20 breaths, contracting on the inhale and relaxing on the exhale. There are so many static stretching techniques to choose from! http://flexibility.purifiedlifestyle.com/types-of-stretching/
I’ll definitely add a front bending routine to my list for the next update! Let me know if you have any other suggestions or questions.
