Quick question for you...


OK! I have a serious question for you guys! Be honest. How many of you are doing some form of stretching? Now let me ask you, how many of you feel like you are coming apart? Do you ache, pop and crackle when you move or how about pull a muscle when you turn the slightest bit. That one is always fun, isn't it?


I've got some news for you! Our bodies are aging! Sorry to be the one to tell you that! We can't do as much as we used to do so easily. Things hurt now!


This is why stretching is so important and I know that people like to skip that part after the workout. A workout is hard and long enough and now I'm asking you to stretch after! What kind of person am I? But YES! YES, I am! Stretching prevents injuries!!! Let's protect ourselves and start stretching!!

P.S. I love stretching so if you need some ideas, just reach out. I have the best lower back stretch for you!!!

P.P.S. Once you start stretching you won't want to stop! It feels so, so good!!!


10 Reasons why you should be stretching:

  1. Reduces your risk of injury. The more flexible you are, the less likely you are to get injured.

  2. Increases range of motion. This helps stop your joints from degenerating.

  3. Improves your posture. Stretching keeps you in better alignment.

  4. Improves performance. It makes your movements more efficient.

  5. Helps manage stress. ​​​​​​​Less tension in your muscles makes you feel less tense.

  6. Prepares your body for the stress of exercise. It loosens up your muscles so they feel less impact.

  7. Promotes circulation. Increase your bloody supply to your muscles and joints which allows for greater nutrient transportation.

  8. Reduces muscle tension. Tense muscles tend to cut off circulation which stops nutrients from getting to muscles.

  9. Decreases risk of lower back pain. If you have lower back pain, stretching will help immensely! I've got good ones! Feel free to reach out.

  10. Helps relieve post-exercise aches. If you stretch after your workout, your muscles will loosen instead of tightening which leads to aches.
