|  Flexibility
is one of the most
overlooked components
of an effective
exercise program.
Since physical activity
creates a strain
on our bodies, good
flexibility and
proper stretchingare
important in determining
how easily we are
able to move our
joints and ligaments.
Good flexibility
also helps to prevent
painful injuries
by preparing our
bodies to sustain
the impact of exercise.
In
fact, according
to the American
College of Sports
Medicine, "all
it takes is up to
ten minutes to stretch
all of the major
muscle groups." |
