Benefits of Stretching for Women

So, let’s get down to it: what are the gender specific benefits that stretching has for women, especially women over the age of 55? Adding to the list of general benefits already mentioned earlier, some of the more noticeable benefits for women include a taming of the effects of menopause, such as hot flushes, joint pains, and sleep problems. General exercise, including stretching, has specifically been shown to reduce the risk of developing a variety of heart diseases, diabetes, and osteoporosis. These three common ailments have become more of a dilemma for elderly women, and if there is no love for a medicinal therapy for these ailments, the physical treatment (this being stretching) can work wonders.

The two most common forms of stretching that have become suitable exercise routines for senior women are yoga and pilates. Both bring about the benefits listed above, but one side effect that we haven’t touched on yet is the lasting effects these exercises have on the mind. Both yoga and pilates foster a serene state of mind and help to increase the person’s mindfulness and self awareness. Thus, for a woman who has lived a life of hustle and bustle filled with daily stressors and physically draining activities, these two stretching exercise forms are unmatched in their effectiveness.
