Stretching is Most Important

One of the most important thing you can do is stretch. As you get older your muscles and joints will become stiff. It may become more difficult to move after sitting for a long time. This is where stretching is important to put flexibility back into your muscles and joints. Without flexibility, you would have a hard time doing everyday things.

Some people are more flexible then others are, some of your muscles and joints maybe more flexible then others. You can increase flexibility in your whole body by stretching. Stretching will also help to keep you from having muscle cramps and pain after a real hard workout or exercise. Stretching is also a good thing to do before a workout or exercise, to help you keep from pulling a muscles. That is why I stretch before I workout. I would pull muscles all the time and now I don`t because I stretch. So now I can have an hard workout without pulling any muscles.

Some muscles to stretch are rear thighs, lower back, and shoulder muscles. When stretching remember first don`t stretch until you feel pain. Pain is a sign that you went to far with your stretching. Stretch slow and don`t jerk when you stretch.
