Stretching before and/or after a workout is something that can easily and quickly be overlooked and neglected. Maybe it’s the time commitment or maybe it’s the because the results aren’t as visible, but stretching is just as important as regular exercise. Hopefully the below benefits will inspire you to incorporate stretching into your workout regime at least a couple times a week:
- Improves flexibility + your range of motion
- Lengthens muscles + assists in correct posture
- Decreases injury
- Increases blood + nutrient supply to muscles
- Calms the mind + gives your body a chance to recharge
- Releases tension physically + mentally
I encourage you to also try a flexibility class such as hot yoga, yoga, or pilates to get your mind + body right 🙂
