Summary

We have now discovered the issues that are inherent with a lack of flexibility as we age, but more importantly, the benefits of exercise and strategies as simple as hydration for improving our flexibility. You can perform dynamic stretches at the beginning of a workout to help your muscles warm up. Static stretches are best at the end of a gym session, which will help your muscles recover from exercise. You can also do longer individual stretching sessions at the gym or at home when you are watching TV, listening to music or audiobooks. The key is to make sure that however you do it, you are stretching regularly and gently. Flexibility does take time to achieve and requires a lot of patience, but you will get there with time! The key, as with all my 7 foundations, is consistency. In our next chapter we will explore another key foundation of total fitness that flexibility is essential to help maintain. Luckily for us, this next foundation is more dynamic, and in my opinion can be a lot of fun to train.
