Stretching to Stay Young: Simple Workouts to Keep You Flexible, Energized, and Pain Free

Discover how the practice of stretching can increase your flexibility, strengthen your body, and renew your youth with Stretching to Stay Young.

As we age, our bodies move less and less. And the less we move, the tighter our muscles and joints become. But this isn’t our natural state―in fact, our bodies were designed for movement.

Stretching is a gentle, simple activity that anyone can do. Doctors often “prescribe” stretching to patients to alleviate ongoing aches and pains, as well as improve range of motion and flexibility. Those who enjoy an active lifestyle find that regular stretching improves athletic performance and decreases the risk of injury.
