The Power of Stretching

Stretching can be one of the most tedious things to do and often gets skipped after a workout.

But why is stretching so important? Here are some reasons that it's a good idea to stretch it out:

  1. Stretching will help prevent soreness after a long or hard workout.
  2. Stretching improves flexibility.
  3. It increases performance in physical activity and can make you stronger in the long term.
  4. It can also helps prevent injuries.
  5. An increase of blood flow will be able to get to the muscles.

It is very important to make sure you are stretching after your workout and focusing more on the areas that are in pain or tight. Stretching does not have to be long but it should be done at least once a day.
