Why is stretching important?
Flexibility is a joints ability to move through a full range of motion. Good flexibility reduces the risk for injuries and low back pain. Although you become less flexible as you age, particularly if you aren’t active, you can slow down that increasing inflexibility by adding stretching to your regular workout.
Stretching is extremely important to keep fit. Even if you are a person who goes to the gym regularly and exercises regularly you still need to do stretching exercises so that you can keep fit. Stretching exercises promote the benefits of the exercise. Stretching is not a workout, but a part of the work out.
