• Stretching increases your range of motion. Yes, you read it right. Most of the times, we are unable to stretch our muscles and it helps in expanding our range
• It increases the flow of blood in your body. Doing stretching on a regular basis increases your flexibility and send adequate amount of blood to your muscles
• In a day, we do not pay attention to our body postures. Do you? Stretching helps in improving your posture. Did you know? Apart from improving your body posture, stretching is also beneficial in reducing musculoskeletal pain (caused by injury to the bones, joints fractures and sprains)
• It also prevents back pain. With increasing unhealthy eating habits and sitting for long hours in office, back pain is quite common amongst women. This is where stretching comes to rescue
• Stretching releases stress. There is no better way to release your stress all naturally
• It lowers your cholesterol levels. Eat healthy and stretch on a regular basis to lower down your cholesterol level

Looks like, you have a better idea now. Don’t you? You don’t have to hit the gym at every point of time. We totally understand - it is quite impossible for women to spare some personal time for workout. “Why am I here? #breathe ... What is my purpose? Breathe...How will I recognise it? Breathe This journey of #inhale & #exhale is #life ...and this life force contains all the answers!!! #practise is key to keep moving in the right direction!!! #thebigpicture #sharing my way of life!!! I love you guys beyond!,” she wrote in one of her Instagram images.
