Stretching and splits training 1.0

Stretching exercises, splits training at home. Flexibility training.

Stretching exercises might not be the most thrilling aspect of a workout routine, but they play a pivotal role in maintaining a well-rounded fitness regimen alongside strength and cardio activities. By integrating stretching exercises into your regular workout regimen, you can enhance flexibility, alleviate tightness, and ultimately optimize the efficiency and safety of your workouts.

"Tight muscles can lead to undue strain on nearby joints during everyday activities or can risk injury themselves," said Sasha Cyrelson, D.P.T., clinical director at Professional Physical Therapy in Sicklerville, New Jersey. Cyrelson highlights that as we age, our muscles tend to become shorter and less elastic, underscoring the importance of actively preserving and improving muscle length to sustain our physical abilities without discomfort.
