Why is streching good for you?

  I really like streching and I need it in wushu and bboying ( breakdancing ).
Not only me but everyone should strech once in a while. It is not only useful for sports people but everyone.
  For sports people it is very important to strech because it helps to reduce tension in muscles and prevent injuries. The muscles will heal faster and won't be so stiff after a workout. Also the more flexible your muscles are the stronger is your performance. If you have flexible leg muscles then you can jump much higher.
  If someone is working out in the gym to gain muscle mass then they have to strech aswell. If they don't then their muscles will be really stiff and cause problems to their lower back, upper back, legs ( picture it like that: your muscles will pull your arms, legs, spine and everything else more and more together because your muscles are getting stiffer and stiffer ) It can cause problems to your nerve system.
  For people who don't do that much sports.. well it is still good to strech because it gets your blood flowing, helps to relax muscles before and after a long day of work ( less back and lowerback problems ), you will feel more fresh. Also when people get older they often get lower back problems,doctors will also tell you to strech but think how much harder it is to strech when you are really old and have to do some special boring streches xD People who strech are much more flexible when they get old and more active, having less health problems.
  In the future I will make some streching guides so stay tuned =) Please comment, suggest topics you want to hear about, follow me ( on the left sidebar ) and share it if you liked it =)
