My entire body loosened up and I did not feel so stiff anymore. My back problems lessened and stretching also taught me to relax. If you do not incorporate stretching into your workout routine, I advise you to begin. You do not have to be a weightlifter or athlete to benefit from stretching. I encourage everyone to stretch, because stretching allows our bodies to return to a fresh and natural state.
Flexibility is one of the key components to a balance fitness program.
If you do not stretch, you will be missing an invaluable part of your overall wellbeing.
