stretching exercises

Stretching exercises involve gently elongating muscles and tendons to improve flexibility, increase blood flow, and reduce muscle tension. They can be static (holding a stretch) or dynamic (moving through a range of motion). Regular stretching helps enhance posture, prevent injuries, and prepare the body for physical activity. It's important to perform stretches calmly, avoiding bouncing, and to breathe steadily. Proper technique and consistency are key to maximizing benefits and avoiding strain. Stretching can be incorporated into warm-ups, cool-downs, or as a standalone routine to support overall muscle health and mobility.
