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.
