Proper stretching

1. Spring
   The most common mistake is springy movements. Especially when the muscles are not warm enough. You can not spring because it can lead to tears of muscles and tendons. It is better to hold the muscle in tension for 10-15 seconds, and then relax. There are certain exercises in which you need to do small swings back and forth, but they can only be performed after a good cardio or strength training, when the muscles are extremely warmed.
