The Benefits of Stretching

Stretching will improve appearance, flexibility, health, and overall performance. In this article we will learn more about benefits of stretching.
First, warm-up for 5-10 minutes at a low intensity (such as the elliptical machine, exercise bike, or treading mill) and stretch the muscles used. If your workout time allows it, a cardiovascular exercise for at least 20 minutes at a faster pace is recommended. Then, a 5-10 minute cool down at low intensity should be completed. cool down for 5-10 minutes at a low intensity (50-60 per cent of your maximum heart rate). Now that you’ve warmed up, you should stretch every major muscle group. 

Why should you stretch?
  • It builds bigger, better-quality muscles.

  2. Great article! Stretching is often overlooked but it's such an important part of any fitness routine. I love the way you've explained the benefits in a clear and concise manner. I especially agree with the importance of stretching for injury prevention and improved range of motion. Thanks for sharing this valuable information! But you need to wear t-shirts during screeching exercise.
