Stretching Can Change Your Life

My husband commented when he was learning some new stretching techniques that He said he felt like a turtle on his back rocking back and forth! Well maybe you can relate!

If I could change a person's life in one day it would be to introduce a daily regimen of simple stretching.

Stretching alone will not improve endurance or strength, but stretching may help keep you limber and reduce some back and muscle pain

• Use gentle movements as a form of light stretching before cardio and strength exercises
• After your activity, when your muscles are warm, do extended stretching exercises.
• Do each exercise 3 to 5 times at each session. Hold the stretched position for 10 to 30 seconds. Total session should last 15 to 30 minutes.
• Move slowly into position; never jerk or bounce into position, nor should it cause pain.
• If stretching exercises are the only kind of exercise you are able to do, do them at least 3 times a week, you can do them every day.
