Are you stretching?

Go 4 Life

Flexibility, or stretching, exercises can give you more freedom of movement to help you do everyday tasks like get dressed, reach for objects on a shelf, and bend over. As you become more flexible, try reaching a little farther in each exercise!

Check out these safety tips before doing flexibility exercises:

  • If you've had hip or back surgery, talk with doctor before doing lower-back flexibility exercises.
  • Always warm up before stretching exercises.
  • Always remember to breathe normally while holding a stretch.
