Fitness is something I believe in 100% I am down here on the floor stretching. Stretching is something that has gotten a little more difficult as I age but something that is even more important as it plays a big part in your overall health and wellness.
Flexibility is the body’s ability to move a joint or group of joints through a complete range of motion. In short, flexibility relates to your body’s ability to move.
The more flexible you are, the easier it is to move. Whether you’re walking, running, stretching, or going about your daily life, flexibility always comes into play.
Sadly, the aging process results in the natural loss of elasticity in muscles and tendons, which can cause stiffness in your joints and a decline in your flexibility. This is why I’m working at it every day.
Flexibility can help you:
🔸Prevent injuries
🔸Increase mobility
🔸Improve your posture
🔸Build muscle strength
🔸Reduce physical pain
When your body is flexible, you can move with more strength, stability, and mobility. What are you doing for your flexibility? I find that getting down on the floor and doing the same exercises I did when I was a cheerleader in school are the same exercises that continue to keep me limber. But I’m open to trying new ideas. Whacha got? 😃
