Supporting flexibility with strength

Posted by Paul Zaichik on

Supporting flexibility with strength
How much resistance to use and how many reps to perform

In the EasyFlexibility system flexibility exercises called ZST or Zaichik Stretching Techniques are supported by retention exercises.
The retention exercises are broken up into two parts:
  • strength
  • and movement.
In short, movement implies developing the ability to move in new ranges, and strength is developing strength in new ranges.

This allows for injury prevention as well as retention of the flexibility you gain with each training session. The new ranges is the deeper range of motion that is received through ZST’s.
Below, an example of Supporting Exercise to complement the ZST for Arabesque in Ballet
How much resistance do you want to use and how many reps do you want to do?
Obviously the more resistance the less repetitions. The new ranges are often vulnerable since your body has not moved or contracted muscles in those ranges before. For that reason, light resistance is recommended. Being able to do at least 20 repetitions is a good start.
It’s best to start with lighter weights and then work your way up than risking injury starting with heavier resistance.
You don't want to use a lot of resistance whether it's ankle weights or cables or resistance band or body weight (you can adjust body weight resistance by shifting your position, using props etc).
Be mindful of the strength exercises and keep your mind on what you’re doing, the mind wants to relax but usually ZSTs require more concentration, especially for beginners.
If you find yourself getting distracted while doing the exercise or you are doing it mechanically without paying much attention to the whole range of movement from beginning to end, simply take a break and then try the exercise again.
Perform awareness supporting exercises, following these tips is essential to achieve our goals

Why are professional dancers so good? How can you be that good or better?

Were they born exceptionally talented? If you ask many dancers they'll answer "It's 99% hard work and only 1% talent".

But you are probably working hard already and not getting any better... Why!?

There's a saying "If you keep doing something wrong, no matter how many times you do it, you get good at exactly that, doing it wrong"... Which we dare say is exactly what YOU are doing.

So how can you improve your dancing skills? What can YOU do to be the next Star?
The answer is the Zaichik Stretching Technique (ZST), which will not only get you flexible, but strong so that you can hold any position that you wish and truly shine on stage.

You need this program if you are looking to improve your Arabesque and Attitude Derriere.

This program is special because:

This program is special because it combines both Strength & Flexibility which is so very important for dancers. As a dancer you know that just because you are flexible doesn't mean that you can hold any position with ease due to lack of strength.

Well we're here to change that with the use of the Zaichik Stretching Techniques and Special Supporting Exercises you will not only get the flexibility but also strength necessary to perform a perfect Arabesque and Attitude Derriere.

Most flexible dancers have a huge advantage over their competition. This advantage is multiplied even more when the dancers have the strength to use their flexibility. – our techniques train both. (Flexibility and strength to utilize it.)

Think about star dancers and you will be hard pressed to find one who has not mastered their flexibility to the fullest.

I was tired of seeing people stretch day after day with no results in sight. Especially because I knew how critical flexibility is to each one of them.

Easyflexibility started when I, (Paul Zaichik ) a professional kinesiologist, developed ZST’s or Zaichik Stretching Techniques. Using these techniques, I was able to get people more flexible than with any other method.

An average range of stretch per workout with standard stretches was 30 degrees (of straddle) 90 -120. With ZST’s the flexibility would go from 90 to 150 degrees. That is 60 degrees or double, what any other method was able to deliver. (Yoga, Pilates, barre, etc)

Sorry about getting technical with the numbers, but it’s important to quantitatively understand the significance of the method.

I later added various other techniques to make the results last. This means you see improvement every time you train. And the improvement sticks with you from one training session to next.

Thousands of people all around the world from amateur to top level professionals have used this method to take their strength and flexibility to new heights.

Why are we so confident?

Because, other stretching methods out there rely on forcing all of your muscles to stretch at the same time. Leaving you sitting in a straddle, in pain, frustrated and ready to give up. or most people it is associated with discomfort, pain and perhaps even injury due to the invasive nature of the applied exercise. Why that happens you may wonder. The answer is simple - most training routines don’t factor in the need for relaxation between contraction periods, which leads to tension and stress.

Zaichik Stretching Technique on the other hand, allows for complete focus not only on each hip individually, but on each of the muscles separately! This ensures that your flexibility is coming from all of your muscles. Where each muscle does it's job without slacking off, instead of all the pressure being placed on an already exhausted, overworked and overstretched muscles. This means that every single stretch is scientifically designed to target one muscle at a time, translating into a very safe and nourishing experience for your body.

Zaichik Stretching Technique takes care of the muscles that are tighter first.

Tight muscles translate into easy injuries.
Traditional stretching methods focus on all muscle stretches at the same time. Zaichik Stretching Technique (ZST) allows you to focus on muscles that are the underlying cause of slow progress and potential injury. Releasing tight muscles first allows for a much more enjoyable stretching session, leaving you feeling renewed, relaxed and refreshed and yet invigorated to tackle any task of the day.

Zaichik Stretching Method allows easier focus since you are working on one specific area at a time.

Instead of doing the same stretches over and over again with ZST method you will be able to strategically focus on a specific area of your body. This allows muscle memory to kick in and help you achieve steady results.

You can do it all on your own!

No pushing or bouncing is necessary, not even a partner. This is freedom at it's finest, no longer will you need a partner or anything but your own body and the floor to get flexible fast. This means that you can do these very enjoyable stretches at the time that works for you. No need to go anywhere or spend tons of money on one-on-one stretching sessions that don't work. With ZST you acquire much more than freedom, you acquire the KEY to success!

Zaichik Stretching Method is PAIN FREE!

Remember that phrase "No Pain - No Gain?" Well, it doesn't apply to our method. Each stretch is designed to be Pain-FREE. Thereby eliminating discomfort to allow you to continue training to achieve faster results.

Zaichik Stretching Method is the only stretching method that is NATURAL for YOUR BODY!

Totally safe, since it was designed according to what is natural for your body. Paul Zaichik, a World Renowned Fitness & Flexibility expert has spent many decades perfecting the Zaichik Stretching Techniques. Having tested this method on himself, his family and thousands of people around the world the conclusion was evident. Everyone achieved results without injuries! This is possible due to the succession of each element forming the ZST. Each technique responding to the natural movement of the body, transforming it from within.

Gains are permanent and steady.

Unlike other stretching techniques ZST is designed to give you results that last. No longer will you need to start over every time you stretch. Utilizing muscle memory, your body will start from where it left off the last time you stretched, working in unison with your mind and your desire to progress further. The endless struggle of mind vs matter will come to an end where your body will be in tune with your mind allowing for fast flexibility gains steadily helping you to attain your goals.
