Stretch and Flex

Make Stretch and Flex a part of your daily routine. Stretching can gradually ramp up the intensity and boost your mood. It also challenges your core muscles and increases energy levels. Daily stretching has a number of benefits.

• It reduces tension and body aches.
• Improves your performance in physical activities.
• Decreases your risk of injuries.
• Assists your joints in moving through their entire range of motion.
• It increases muscle blood flow.
• Enables your muscles to work most effectively.
• Improves your ability to do daily activities.

Many people have muscular imbalances which can lead to poor posture. A combination of strengthening and stretching specific muscle groups can help with musculoskeletal discomfort and alignment. Additionally, incorporating deep breathing activates the sympathetic nervous system, which is linked to stress-related symptoms. You’re slowing down the heart rate, reducing your blood pressure, and relaxing your muscle. Breathing correctly is important for your overall well-being. As with exercise or meditation, deep breathing will be most beneficial if you treat it as a daily practice.

Benefits include:

• Natural painkiller
• Improves blood flow
• It calms down anxiety
• It helps you sleep better

An optimal level of flexibility is necessary in most exercises. Stretching on a regular basis may help to improve circulation. Improved circulation enhances blood flow to your muscles, which can lessen muscular discomfort and speed up recovery time. Setting realistic goals will enable you to customise the programme to your unique needs and maximise your potential for health and prosperity. It can be used either independently or as a compliment to another programme.
