Tight Muscles?

As we grow older, our muscles tighten and range of motion can shorten. This may make it difficult to have an active lifestyle. Tight muscles can also get in the way of our day-to-day routines. Movements that used to be simple, such as tying your shoes or putting something away on the top shelf can become difficult with age. Consistent stretching can help lengthen muscles and make daily activities easier.

Make stretching part of your daily routine (whether its a workout or rest day). Stretching can give you huge results! Here are just a few of the benefits you can expect from regular stretching:

• Reduced muscle tension and stiffness
• Increased range of motion
• Improved coordination
• Increased blood flow
• Increased levels of energy
• Injury prevention
