Stretch

Essential Health Tip

Stretching feels so good! Stretching also keeps your body flexible so it will do what you want, when you want. Studies show us that regular stretching can also lead to weight loss! Here is how it works:

When we stretch, we engage muscles that become more developed over time. Muscles take up less space in our bodies than fat, and they also burn a lot of calories to survive. So, stretching effectively turns our bodies into fat-burning machines.

Stretching is also a stress reliever. A little stretching tidbit: Regular stretching can actually increase your height!

Suggested stretches: Spine Release Stretch; Wall Push Stretch, Palm Touch Stretch, Toe Touch Stretch, Calf Wall Push Stretch, and Hamstring Stretches.
