Improve flexibility through stretching
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Flexibility is developed when connective tissues and muscle are elongated through regular proper stretching. Flexibility diminishes over time when these tissues are not stretched or exercised. However stretching is only beneficial when done properly, gradually, and slowly and must be done on a regular basis in order to see results.
Some benefits of stretching:
•Stretching can reduce risk of joint sprain or muscle strain
•Stretching can reduce risk of back pain
•Stretching can reduce muscle tension
•Stretching can increase blood flow through the active muscle
What benefits do you find in stretching?
