Stretching: Muscle and Fitness
Exercise to Get Fit and Build Muscles
Stretching exercises and
extensions are good for strength training, fitness and toning muscles.
They help to develop and tone muscles all over the body to create a lean
and strong appearance.
Stretching: Muscle Development
Stretching workouts are
useful for lengthening and extending muscles - particularly after aerobic
sports or bodybuilding. Stretch your leg muscles, hamstrings (biceps femoris,
vastus latoralis and semimembranous) and quads (vastus medialis, vastus
intermedius, vastus lateralis and rectus femoris) to achieve a longer,
leaner appearance.
Stretching: Fitness Benefits
Stretches help to build
lean tissue, burn body fat and develop a flat stomach by working the abs.
They also help to raise resting metabolism.
Stretching Workouts: Calories Burned
Exercise routines involving
extensions and stretches burn a reasonable number of calories. When combined
with a calorie-controlled eating plan, they help us to reduce weight and
maintain a healthy body-fat percentage.
