Why is flexibility important?

Flexibility is an important component of healthy living that we benefit from taking the time to practice. Although flexibility doesn’t always get the same attention as strength training or cardio workouts, it is important for overall physical fitness and functionality.

Flexibility is important for a wide range of reasons, including:

• Increased range of motion
• Improved muscle function and better exercise performance
• Lower risk of injury and chronic aches and pains
• Better posture, physique, and athleticism
• Improved circulation
• Improved functional fitness
