This series will concentrate on stretching exercises that you can easily incorporate into your exercise and wellness routines. Stretching is one of the most beneficial things we can do for ourselves.
Stretching is the best way to promote and maintain flexibility. As we age, flexibility may decrease due to habitual ways that we hold our bodies as well as lack of muscle tone. As a result, the tendons, which connect muscles to bone, are not being given full range of motion and begin to tighten. This reduces flexibility, restricts range of motion, and can lead to muscle imbalance. A regular program of stretching can counteract this, resulting in increased suppleness and improved coordination.
Anyone can stretch their body regardless of their level of ability or condition. Whatever age or shape you are in, stretching daily will increase your level of relaxation, your muscles will become stronger and more supple, stiffness and pain will be reduced, and you will enjoy better coordination and increased range of motion. You will be less susceptible to injury and stretching will help relieve or prevent stress.
SO, LET'S GET STARTED!!!
Stretch number one coming Monday, April 6th.
