People might think of stretching as an exercise that only professional athlete performs, however, we all need to stretch to improve our mobility, flexibility and prevent injuries. Vin always suggests that stretching should be done daily.

What are the benefits of stretching

There are many benefits to regular stretching. Stretching can increase your flexibility, which is a very important factor when it comes to fitness but also improve your posture, reduce pains in joints and muscles and help reducing stress.

There are different types of stretching but the most common ones are:

•  Static: Involves holding a stretching position for a set period of time. This type of stretch is normally good after your exercise. Static stretches reduce the risk of injuries.
• Dynamic: Are active movements that push your muscle to stretch. This type of stretching is normally done before the exercise to promote muscle movement and warm-up.
