Stretch

Often times, we feel the need that we do not need to stretch before we exercise. We feel it is not needed, and it takes away more of our time in the day. Yes, I was guilty for these reasons. Until I learned the importance of stretching, I barely ever stretched. Now that I have a better understanding of the reasons to stretch, I have made it part of my workout routine.

Stretching is needed. It may take a few extra minutes of our time, but it is just as important as the workout itself. There are many benefits to stretching. Here are just a few reasons to stretch: warms up and loosens our muscles, improves flexibility, improves posture, reduces muscle aches/soreness, and decreases the risk of injury. Need I say more?

It is the time for you to make time to help your body do all it can. Start including stretching in your workout regime. Your body will appreciate it.
