Fortifies Posture

Stretching helps ensure correct posture by lengthening tight muscles that pull areas of the body away from their intended position and keeping your muscles loose. Stretching the muscles of the lower back, chest and shoulders can help keep the spine in better alignment and improve overall posture by relieving aches and pains. With reduced pain, there is a reduced desire to hunch or slouch.

Decreases Risk of Injury

Stretching will help to supply a greater nutrient supply to muscles, thereby reducing muscle soreness and helping to speed recovery from muscle and joint injuries.

Promotes Blood Circulation

Stretching increases blood flow to the muscles. This help reduce post-workout soreness and shorten recovery time. This also helps to improve overall health because greater blood circulation helps promote cell growth and organ function. Over time your heart rate will also lower since it doesn’t have to work as hard which leads ti your blood pressure being more even and consistent.

Improve Athletic Performance

If your muscles are already contracted because you haven’t stretched, then they will be less effective during exercise. Regular stretching will relax all of your muscles and therefore enable them to be more available during exercise.

Reduces Cholesterol

 When paired with a healthy diet, engaging in prolonged stretching exercises can help reduce cholesterol in the body. This can help to prevent and even reverse the hardening of arteries, helping one avoid heart diseases.
