Using regular stretching

to stay safe and strong

Simple stretches can be done everyday. It can be incorporated in the

lifestyle and the daily activities. It does not require much of your time.

The importance:

The body is flexible. It is supposed to be flexible. This flexibility is needed

for our simple, everyday tasks, such as picking something off the floor, or

reaching that book you need on the top shelf.

These are simple activities, nothing grand about them, you merely

stretched out a bit. However, if there are difficulties in doing such simple

motions, then you have to stretch your limits. You already need some sort

of stretching routine.

Studies about the benefits of stretching have had both good and bad

results. Some research suggests that stretching does not decrease muscle

pain immediately after exercise, while other research suggests that

holding the stretch slightly longer before a workout may slightly improve

performance.
