Here’s why stretching is so good for us, to improve flexibility and mobility. Plus 10 reasons that stretching should be part of everyday life and to include them in your workouts.

​

Best reasons for why you should always take the time to stretch:

1. Decreases muscle stiffness and increases range of motion. Stretching helps improve your range of motion, which may also slow the degeneration of your joints, prevent injury and tightness.

​

2. Helps relieve aches and pains, pre and post workouts. After a hard workout, stretching your muscles helps keep them loose and lessens the shortening and tightening effect that can lead to post-workout aches and pains.

​

3.. Improves posture. Stretching the muscles of the lower back, shoulders and chest helps keep your back in alignment and balances the muscles, improves your posture.

​

4. Helps reduce or manage stress. Well-stretched muscles hold less tension and, therefore, can help you feel less stressed.

​

5. Reduces muscular tension and enhances muscular relaxation.  Chronically tense muscles tend to cut off their own circulation, resulting in a lack of oxygen and essential nutrients. Stretching allows your muscles to relax.

​

6. Promotes circulation. Stretching increases blood supply to your muscles and joints, which allows for greater nutrient transportation and improves the circulation of blood through your entire body.

​

7. Decreases the risk of low-back pain. Flexibility in the hamstrings, hip flexors and muscles attached to the pelvis relieves stress on the lumbar spine, which in turn reduces your risk of low-back pain.
