5 BENEFITS OF STRETCHING…
1: Injury prevention and less muscle soreness- Stretching before and after physical activities help warm the body up, thereby decreasing the risk of injury and muscle soreness.
2: Increased flexibility and joint range of motion- Flexible muscles can improve your daily performance. Tasks such as lifting children and bending down become easier and less tiring.
3: Improved circulation- Stretching increases blood flow to your muscles. Blood flowing to your muscles brings nourishment and gets rid of waste in the muscle tissue thereby shortening recovery period.
4: Better posture- Frequent stretching can help keep your muscles from getting tight, allowing you to maintain proper posture.
5: Stress relief- Stretching relaxes tight, tense muscles that often accompany stress.
