First, it is important to protect your muscles by stretching them out before and after a workout. You will find that you will have a much better and more productive workout when your muscles are warmed up. This is because you have a better range of motion. Doing intense physical activity without stretching before or after will increase your chance of injury such as pulling a muscle.
Stretching during the day will also wake you up and wake your muscles up as well.
Some other benefits include:
-Stress relief
-improved posture
-increased flexibility
-helps your joints
Ways to stretch:
Yoga is a great way to increase your flexibility. There are great quick yoga videos all over youtube. For example, I am been doing this yoga video for weeks now. It is 10 minutes and stretches some muscles as well as relaxes me! I will put the link below.
