Why is stretching important?

Stretching is a must for everyone! It makes our mind fresh and help us to concentrate better. Sometimes we neglect it due to work, but that shouldn't happen. We must fix a time and we should take one minute of our day for ourselves.

Stretching is important cause if you don't stretch, your muscles contracts in a way that you can hurt yourself. Stretching is something you should do daily like walking for example, when you walk you're stretching your legs, when you move your fingers. Stretching is an activity you sometimes do without thinking but nowadays it's rare that we go outside to walk and even do get up from the bed. Stretching is good, before a workout, when you wake up and when you go to sleep. Stretching stretches your muscles.

a good stretch as soon as you get out of bed or even while still in bed will release all the pressure and tension that built up while you were in your unconscious dream state. a nice deep stretch will ground you in the present moment, and prepare you for a full day ahead ❤️

In my opinion, I believe it can really improve your day. When I stretch, I know that I am taking a few minutes of my day to do something that will render amazing results. Especially if you have back pains, this can help your muscles and reduce pain. Additionally, I feel amazing when I stretch. I feel as nothing else matters but me for these 1-3 minutes. It’s a great feeling to give yourself that kind of care and attention, especially if you have a very stressful, high paced or demanding lifestyle at the moment. I also enjoy it because I know it’s the first (and very simple) step I have to take to continue improving my life and it’s so easy! Puts a smile on my face each time 🙂

Stretching is important for many factors, and is very useful if doing a physical activity.
In can prevent sprains and injuries when exercising.
Then again, in order to do stretches, one needs to warm up.
Aside from that, stretching can help someone stay elastic and loosen tense muscles.
In fact when having tense muscles, stretches can serve a lot and relieve a some pain.

Stretching in the morning can help relieve any tension or pain from sleeping the night before by reducing the tension on your spine or any other body stiffness you are experiencing. By stretching you are actually helping your muscles relax, after lying down for a long period of time, stretching can take away any stiffness because it is elongating the muscles.
In addition, in order to fully function, you need to get blood flowing throughout your body and into your brain and stretching will help increase blood flow.
There are plenty of benefits of stretching as soon as you wake up, hope these few help!

Stretching, beyond making you less prone to injury during the day, is also a long term investment. By stretching repeatedly and consistently, you preserve your muscles and joints for years and years to come. Ever notice how those old people in the park doing Tai Chi seem so nimble and strong compared to some others. It is because of this consistent practice of stretching and bodily discipline.
Jhanna S.
If you have ever mixed cake batter or mashed potatoes and left it to open air, you know that it is likely to form that hard discolored crust over the top of the mix underneath. Similarly, the body will flex to the point of relevant use, if you will. If the body feels its only used capacities are sitting and standing, the underused muscles "crust over", causing you to feel stiff. Stretching is like stirring the batter, keeping the body ready for what's next.

Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way.
