The Power Of Stretching
WOMAN - UK
|July 29, 2019
It’s more important than we think...

Oh to be a cat. They’re independent, spend all day snoozing in the sun, and they’ve got the whole stretching thing down to a T. They do it to get their blood flowing and muscles moving after periods of inactivity, so they’re ready to pounce on the next mouse they come across.
Although we’re not on the lookout for the next rodent, stretching is key for our health, and we need to do it more. ‘
Stretching plays a crucial role in overall health, fitness and function, and it’s vital to keep muscles flexible, strong and healthy,’ says celebrity Pilates instructor Gaby Noble, who teaches stars such as Harry Styles, Sadie Frost and Jools Oliver.
Flexibility is key. ‘If your muscles aren’t flexible, the range of motion in your joints is reduced and your muscles become short and tight. This tightness can lead to aches, poor posture and ‘STRETCHING PLAYS A CRUCIAL ROLE’ It’s more important than we think... balance, as well as difficulty with simple tasks, like household chores, getting out of bed and playing with your kids or grandchildren,’ explains Gaby.

Why it's never too late to get in shape
Getting in shape - what does that even mean? Well, to me it means this: working at achieving a good muscle mass to body fat ratio (that you, personally, are happy with). Plus, well-supported joints, good bone density, a high level of strength (to avoid future injury, improve balance and boost metabolic health) and a good diet to fuel both your activities and a healthy gut (a flourishing microbiome rules our health!).
