The Benefits of a regular stretching routine…
Whether you’ve trained with me in that past or you are currently training with me then you know that I don’t put you through a lot of stretching exercises during our workouts. What I like to do is put you through the full range of motion of an exercise so that we can increase the mobility of a joint.
But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t stretch!
Stretching your muscles regularly can give you many benefits and should be a part of your daily exercise routine. Some of those benefits include:
- Improved circulation
- Better posture
- Relaxation and stress relief
- Enhanced muscular coordination
- Reduced risk of injury
There are several ways to incorporate more stretching into your physical fitness program including yoga and pilates, which will also strengthen the muscle. At a minimum you should be stretching at least 3 days per week, and especially after a strenuous resistance training session.
Take 30 minutes every day to stretch your muscles and see how much better you feel.
