the importance of stretching before and after exercise


It is important to stretch both before and after exercising. Many fitness experts say that stretching after you exercise is actually more important than before. However, many people do not bother stretching after their workout. They say that they are too tired, or they just forget. Stretching has many benefits. For example, it helps you avoid painful cramps in your muscles. If you don't stretch, you could have tight and sore muscles the next day. It helps to improve your flexibility. If you stretch after every workout, it will be easy to touch your toes. You might be surprised to know how many people        can not reach their toes. Finally, it is also a good way to relax and wind down after strenuous exercise. So be sure to include ten minutes of stretching as part of the start and end of your exercise routine.
