Benefits Of Stretching

Mat work does more than improve your flexibility. In a study published by the Clinical Journal of Sports Medicine, people who stretched their hamstrings five times a week for a period of six weeks, increased their range of motion, they also significantly strengthened their hamstrings and quadrices. Add flex time to your routine and get closer to running farther, squatting with heavier dumbells, or holding those chair poses for a few more breaths.
