Benefits Of Stretching

By Ansaar Modack

The benefits of stretching :

1.Improves the range of movement. Stretching lengthens the
muscles and tendons, increasing your range of movement.
You'll be able to jump higher, or stretch further, with
less pain.

2.Improves ability to perform skills. More flexibility
allows you to enjoy a more active lifestyle. If in sport, it
give you more of an edge because it allows you to move
faster, and in professional sport every second counts. It
makes your reflexes that much sharper.

3.Prevents Injury. As I said, cold muscles are prone to
injury, hence a 10 minute warm up is essential before any
physical activity. It also lessens the stiffness, or
soreness one feels after exercise.

4.Increases energy. Knowing you have a body capable of
moving, twisting and turning with more ease and less pain
will drive you to move rather than sit and do nothing.
Psychologically, it will increase your awareness and
confidence.

5.Lowers cholesterol. Tests have proven that doing
stretching for any length of time, such as yoga for example,
can lower cholesterol levels, but only in conjunction with a
varied diet.

You should include stretching in your everyday lifestyle.
You don't need equipment, or a gym, and it uses minimal
time. The benefits you will derive from stretching cannot be
underestimated, and is crucial to your health today and to
your fitness in the future.
