Why should I stretch? Stiffness and tension in the muscles may occur not only because of sports. Can also occur because the posture is not good, also the stress and bad habits at the desk.

"The main benefit is the flexibility stretching," said James Sutherlan from Balmain Sports Physiotherapy in Sydney, Australia. Also what else, huh?

This is the answer:
1. Keeping muscles supple and long for. Especially for people who get older, because aging causes the muscles and ligaments become shortened.
2. Relaxation. Stretching will relieve muscle tension and stiffness.
3. Flexibility while preventing shortage of age.
4. Reducing the damaged joints, which can result in reducing joint pain.
5. Making better posture and correct the imbalance in the body due to muscle rigidity.
6. Sleep better.
7. Improve energy and blood circulation.
8. Reducing the risk of injury by balancing the body.
9. Relieve muscle pain after exercise.
10. Improve physical appearance. @

Guidelines for Stretching
- Stretch everywhere: in front of the television, at work, or in the car.
- Can also do this stretch in pairs or using a tool to modify the stretch.
- Stretch as part of the cooling during exercise.
- Stretch for at least 10-30 seconds.
- Do not stretch more than 1 minute.
- Do not hold your breath during the stretch. Conversely, do deep breathing exercises to increase the supply of oxygen to the muscles during the relaxation process.
- Do not do the stretches in a state of muscle pain.
- Do not apply excessive stretch when you're pregnant because it was the condition of vulnerable ligament injury.
