Stretching is a gentle exercise that relaxes your body and imparts
strains on specific areas depending on the type of stretching. When you stretch correctly, the feeling of stretch
will drop considerably when you hold the stretch. A long held stretch reduces muscle tensions and stiffness. The
stretching exercise overall brings about relieving stress and enhancing health of the body. Breathing should be
rhythmic to aid the stretching workouts to give maximum benefits. Stretching keeps the body fit by reducing
injuries to muscles and prevents soreness of muscles. Stretching completely improves your comfort levels of your
muscles and joints. It also keeps you away from body fat, back pain and diabetic problems.
There are right ways and wrong ways of doing a stretching exercise.
The right ways include breathing easily, focusing on muscles to be strengthened, feeling the stretch and tuning the
body. Holding the breath, jerking, doing in a hurry, working out when you are tensed are wrong ways of
stretching.
