Why daily stretching exercises are essential

Regular stretching goes far beyond flexibility. It can transform how your body feels and performs:

• Improves posture and core strength – Counteracts long hours of sitting.

• Boosts flexibility and mobility – Makes everyday movements easier.

• Relieves stress and muscle tension – Perfect for unwinding after work.

• Enhances blood flow and recovery – Supports faster muscle repair.

✅ Tip: Even 10 minutes of stretching per day can improve how you feel and move.
