It’s Important To Stretch

There is a tendency for people to just jump into a workout without warming up, which leads to discomfort and even injury. The reason it’s important to stretch before a workout is to loosen the muscles and tendons to increase the range of motion of a muscle.

This not only increases a muscle’s ability to perform the lifts but because there is more range, the exercise can be done properly. Stretching beforehand increases blood flow and flexibility, which also improves performance. Stretching after working out promoted gradual relaxation, reduces pain and injury risk, and eliminates lactic acid, which aids in recovery.
