The importance of stretching
Stretching out stiff and achy muscles after you wake up in the morning or in the middle of the workday is a great way to release tension throughout your body.
And while a lot of people stretch simply because it feels good, there are a ton of other potential benefits of stretching that will encourage you to make this gentle form of movement a regular part of your routine. Regular stretching can help you increase your flexibility, which is a key component in your overall health, says Katelyn DiGiorgio, vice president of training and technique for Pure Barre. Improving your flexibility will allow you to perform everyday activities, whether small, like picking up a box, or big, like going skiing, with relative ease and with less risk of injury.
It’s easy to get carried away by the feel-good sensations you get from exercise, whether you find it meditative, empowering, or therapeutic. But remember: Leave room for active recovery instead of going full speed with your workouts every single day and never taking time to rest. Your body needs time to rest in between hard exercise sessions so that it can repair itself properly and come back stronger. Plus, if all your body gets is physical stress without rest, you can reach the point of diminishing returns, or the point at which more exercise doesn’t result in any more progress.
