Why Stretching Matters
Many people jump straight into hard exercise and skip stretching, but this small step can make a big difference. Stretching slowly before a workout warms up the muscles and lowers the chance of getting hurt.
It also brings other benefits. Gentle stretching helps blood flow more easily, which gives muscles the oxygen they need. After exercise, stretching can ease sore muscles and help the body relax. Experts say we do not need special tools or a lot of time. Just five to ten minutes of careful stretching, done regularly, can keep our bodies flexible and ready to move.
