The Benefits Of Regular Excercise- Stretching prior to getting started warms up the muscles before they are exposed to hard work and strain. It protects and prevents injury; your muscles will be more pliable and able to withstand the heavier strain and deeper stretch a training session will place on them. It increases your range of motion, making it easier to move thus avoiding injury.
