Stretching is vital for keeping your muscles long and loose.

Ideally, you should stretch after some light exercise so that you’re stretching warmed muscles, which helps prevent injuries.

Regular flexibility training has numerous benefits, these include: increased joint mobility, better posture, decreased back pain, reduced stress levels and another advantage can be a lower risk of injury.

The benefits of controlled stretching play an important role in helping us achieve and maintain optimum fitness and should be an integral part of any fitness regime.
