Did you know?
“Stretching releases dopamine which helps you feel happier
and more positive.
If you’re feeling a little low, then a good stretch is beneficial for your body and your mind.
Stretching may take a back seat to your exercise routine. You may think that stretching your hamstrings and calves is just something to be done if you have a few extra minutes before or after doing some kilometre's on the treadmill. The main concern is exercising, not stretching, right? Not so fast. Stretching may help you improve your joint range of motion, which in turn may help improve your athletic performance and decrease your risk of injury. Understand why stretching can help and how to stretch correctly.
1.You’ll relieve PMS
Women who suffer from PMS symptoms, such as pain,
emotional imbalance and bloating, have reported benefits from
performing yoga stretches. It’s not known why, but according to the
researcher Dr Ratna Sharma, after the yoga course, sufferers had higher
levels of allopregnanolone, a natural antidepressant, in their bodies.
You’ll be able to exercise for longer
“Stretching loosens the muscles and tendons, which relieves muscle fatigue,” says Floreani. “As we get older we become less flexible, as we spend so long at a desk or on the couch. By stretching, we’re warming up those sleepy areas of our body and reminding them it’s time to get moving.” The best news? The longer you exercise the more kilojoules you’ll burn.

You’ll be less tired
“When muscles stay still the blood pools in the muscles, which makes you feel tired and sluggish,” says Floreani. “As soon as you move you nourish the muscles and improve your concentration levels as your brain gets some blood flow.” By moving away from your desk every twenty minutes or so is enough to help relieve fatigue.

You’ll sleep soundly
Good news if you’re postmenopausal. A regular morning routine of stretching and light exercise has been proven to give you a good night’s sleep, compared to women who do no exercise or exercise in the evening.

You’ll be less likely to get an injury
“Stretching reminds your brain the correct length your muscles are meant to be at when you’re exercising,” says Floreani. “After a ten-minute stretching before working out, you’ll have better coordination and it’ll be less likely for your muscles to rip and tear.”
