Personal Trainer Westbourne Park – Keys to Success #3

Why You Should Stretch!

We all know stretching is good for us, but most of us neglect it (myself included). Up until the last 2 months, I was neglecting doing my usual 5-10 minutes of stretching per day. For the last two months though, I have been very consistent hitting my daily stretching, and my body feels the benefits! I have way less stiffness, I am recovering better from workouts, and I have noticed an improvement in my golf game!

To get these types of improvements, you don’t need to do marathon flexibility sessions or hours of yoga (great if you can add yoga), but most people don’t have the time or patience for super-long flexibility sessions. Just adding 5-10 minutes of consistent daily stretching can reap huge benefits in how you feel and improve your performance.

Here are some key benefits of 5-10 minutes of daily stretching:

  • Improved joint range of motion
  • Your body becomes more pliable and less stiff
  • Improved posture
  • Reduces the risk of injury
  • Helps your body recover between workout sessions
  • Helps to relax your nervous system (since most of us are chronically stressed)
  • Keeps us feeling young!!

Here are my go-to daily stretches (these stretches hit all of the key areas):

  • Couch Stretch (quads and hip flexors)
  • Incline Pigeon stretch (glutes and hip flexors)
  • Standing Wide Straddle Stretch (hamstrings and inner thighs)
  • Bench or Physioball Lat/T-Spine Stretch (lats and thoracic spine)

I hold each stretch for 1-2 minutes, and I focus on relaxing and taking deep breaths! If you do this routine daily, you will notice huge improvements in how your body feels. Give it a try!

Remember, if you don’t use your flexibility, you will lose it over time. Consistent stretching is one of the best ways to stay and feel young!
Personal Trainer Westbourne Park can help with your stretching goals.
