Stretching After Strenuous Exercise

---

One of the most  overlooked aspect of exercising is the stretching after a strenuous workout. Stretching tired and sore muscles after a workout is essential as it enhances flexibility and reduces muscle tension after a workout. With consistent post-workout stretching, the body becomes more flexible.
