It increases blood flow to your muscles and decrease muscle stiffness. Improves posture. Calms the mind and reduces stress.<br \/>\nFive minutes are not enough if stretching is the only exercise you do. Try to spend 15 to 20 minutes if possible.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Domenico Z.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I have most of the time no more than 10mins to stretch. My advise is to define a 3-days routine (i.e. arms and shoulders, torso&#x2F;back,legs), define 8 positions you will keep 40s. Rotate every day the 3-days routine.<br \/>\n It&#39;s better to do less positions but lasting more then 30s. It works.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Suzanne A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Thanks to stretching you won&#39;t be so tight. If it comes to effects, the best you will see after stretching the same part of your body about 30min a few times in a week. 5min is not much, but work with what you have. Just focus on one thing at the time I guess?Also 5min is the amount you should spend stretching after exercising for strength&#x2F;muscle growth (or after cardio), so you won&#39;t be sore after. Remember to warm up before any stretching too! Other way you can really hurt yourself.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Rohanie P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Not stretching after a work-out is how people step off the curb and snap a tendon. Stretch! I would go for at least 10 minutes to also use it as a cool-down.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rhiannon F.
