Straddling Stretch Tutorial
Flexibility is an important asset to retain as you get older. The straddle stretch will help you to retain the necessary flexibility to keep your body functioning well.
It is important that you do not try to force your body into a perfect split, while this exercise will help keep you fit and flexible, it can also cause you to injure yourself if you try to force your body to stretch.
Much in the same way that injury is caused because you are not as flexible as you once were when you don’t continue to work the muscles and ligaments that help to keep you in shape. This is why falls can be so detrimental to older people.
