Stretching or engaging in flexibility exercises is an under-appreciated and underutilized means to improve the quality of your life! Here are five reasons to do it:

  1. Less back and joint pain
  2. Superior muscle health
  3. Better athletic performance
  4. Greater range of motion
  5. Improved circulation

Yoga is a great example of a flexibility practice I really enjoy. It’s a great way to get in both stretching and strength training.

Healthy living requires more than just movement. If you’re interested in the whole story, check out my award-winning Eat Right for Life series.
