Stretching after a workout is so important & something I always make sure to do.
It helps me cool down & has helped improve my flexibility, as well as reduce any tightness in my muscles.
Here are 10 more reasons why you should be stretching:
Decreased your stress levels
Reduced pain & stiffness after a workout
Improve your health & wellbeing
Enhance your range of motion
Improve how your muscles function
Reduce the risk of injuries
Enhance your performance
Improve blood flow & circulation within your body
Minimise any wear and tear on your joints
Improve quality of life!!
I don’t follow any exact ‘routine’ – I just start from the bottom & work my way up! I hold each stretch until I feel like it’s been stretched enough.
