Why is Stretching Important?
Increased Flexibility
Regular stretching helps improve flexibility by lengthening the muscles and increasing their range of motion. This makes it easier to perform daily activities.
Injury Prevention
Stretching plays a crucial role in injury prevention. By improving flexibility and mobility, it decreases the risk of strains, sprains and other injuries during physical activities.
Improved Posture
Stretching can help improve posture by releasing muscle tightness and restoring proper alignment. Regular stretching can counteract these effects.
Stress Relief
Stretching is not only beneficial for the body but also for the mind. It promotes relaxation and reduces stress by releasing tension in the muscles and promoting a sense of well-being.

A glute bridge is a highly effective exercise that targets the gluteal muscles and helps take the pressure off your low back.
