The Best Things You Can Do For Your Body Right Now

Stretch

Take a moment to stretch. Performing light stretches increases blood flow to the muscles and joints preventing injury from repetitive movements. Stretching also improves flexibility and allows the body and brain to get practice communicating with each other. Stretching also enhances body awareness which is essential to good health.

Stretch upon waking to increase blood flow to the body. Stretch after long periods of inactivity. Light stretching can be performed at any time. Save deep stretching for after exercise. To prevent injury, warm up the muscles before doing deep stretching.
