Stretching can have a major impact on our overall health. Regularly dedicating a few minutes a day keeps muscles lean and strong.
According to Harvard Medical School, it is important to complete stretching after exercise so the muscles are warmed up and more pliable, mitigating potential injury.
Stretching is a great time to practice mental training, meditation and visualization. Taking deep, even breaths during stretching will increase relaxation, and hopefully lead to decreased stress!
