Stretching after exercise increases circulation and helps workout recovery. Here are five other important benefits:
Flexibility-
It keeps muscles supple and strong; we need to stretch to keep joints fully mobile.
Posture-
It can release that tense, hunched look for better posture.
Health-
Stretching may help deliver nutrients and hydration to muscles, reduce high blood pressure, and help improve sleep patterns.
Mind-
Want to reduce anxiety and stress? Doing relaxing moves to stretch out tense muscles will help.
Digestion-
Gentle twisting and yoga moves that target the middle of your body are believed to reduce inflammation and support the intestines.
