We have all heard that we should do some
stretching before we run or do other heavy
types of exercise. Stretching is important
for those reasons and more.
When you stretch you also help to align
your spine, reduce stress on your
joints, increase blood flow, and you also
burn off calories.
You can burn over 200 calories through
stretching if you stretch for an hour.
Most people would not know where to
begin, but Yoga is a great example of
stretching that can not only reduce stress,
but there are so many types of stretches
offered that you can stay busy for hours
trying to incorporate and learn all of
the various stretches.
As a former gymnast, I have many stretching
exercises at my disposal. Yoga is really a
great extension to what I already use.
Try stretching out, you just might get "Hooked".
