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.
