Kak: Your plan looks good. A key point that many beginners overlook is everyone is different - and the suggested routines are just guidelines, not absolute numbers that must be followed.
About stretching for long periods of time: It's not a bad idea to stretch for longer durations . . . and, of course, if done properly it will help your gains. But the keyword is properly. You're still in the beginner stages, so you'll want to avoid jumping into 2+ minutes of stretching just yet. Instead, gradually work your way up to it. Start out with the 30 second stretches and over a few weeks time, increase to 120 to 180 seconds. |
