Stretching is essential to your daily life, even if you're not planning to exercise.

It is common to underestimate stretching, but it could be the most accessible means to always stay in shape. Stretching ensures the joints mobility. It improves flexibility, prevents roughening of muscles and increases the ligaments elasticity among other benefits.

In the young age stretching exercises facilitate the harmonious development of the body and help form a proper posture. In the later years they are essential to preserve flexibility and prevent back pain and arm and leg pain.

Stretching like strengthening can be used for many goals. The schedule changes depending on what the target exercise are applied for. For an easier understanding let’s take a basic squat or a lunge. You can see 3 different people doing that exercise for different reason and of course with different, resistance, frequency and intensity.

What most people call "flexibility" includes the range of motion in your joints as well as the length of the ligaments and tendons that surround those joints. If you have the goal to become flexible, simply stretching may not be enough. Try yoga or pilates to improve your flexibility and pay attention to your overall health. Staying nourished and well hydrated will help you become flexible.
