While many people may associate stretching with their workouts, loosening up before or cooling down after, it’s actually a very beneficial practice to get into every single day regardless of your workout routine. It is also important regardless of age. Whether it’s first thing in the morning, every hour or two throughout your day, or winding down before bed, taking a few minutes to stretch and release the tension in your muscles can help you to move and feel better.
In addition to feeling better in general, here is a list of some of the specific benefits you can experience from stretching:
- Stretching Improves Local Blood Circulation
- Stretching Can Boost Energy
- Stretching Can Improve Posture
- Stretching Can Improve Athletic Performance
- Stretching Can Increase Your Range of Motion
So listen to your body, and start stretching!
