Define balanced stretching

Balanced stretching refers to a routine that targets multiple major muscle groups throughout the entire body to ensure overall flexibility, symmetry, and muscle balance, rather than focusing on only one area.

Evaluate the given options

• Option A describes stretching many muscle groups throughout the body, which aligns with the definition of a balanced routine.
• Option B describes targeted stretching of a single group, which is not balanced.
• Option C describes physical balance (equilibrium) rather than a balanced stretching routine.
• Option D describes static stretching (avoiding ballistic bouncing), which is a safety technique rather than the definition of balanced stretching.
