Stretching is one of the most overlooked tools in fitness. I’ve learned the hard way that skipping it leads to tightness, limited range of motion, and even injury. Now, it’s a non-negotiable in my routine—and for my clients too.
Dynamic stretches before workouts help warm up muscles. Static stretches after workouts aid recovery. I especially love hip openers, hamstring stretches, and shoulder mobility work—areas most people neglect.
You don’t need to spend an hour. Even 5–10 minutes a day adds up. Stretching helps you move better, lift better, and feel better. Make space for it.
