Who is stretching for?
These are activities for everyone, regardless of age. Especially recommended for those who are immobilized in one position for many hours - e.g. sitting at the computer or working standing up. Side effects of this lifestyle are cramped neck muscles and back problems. Also, those who train a lot in the gym need to stretch their bodies because their muscles are very tight. It is best that they start stretching classes immediately after strength training. Then their muscles will work better, they will become more flexible and less susceptible to injuries. Strength training shortens the muscles and makes them more visible. Stretching the opposite way: stretches them. This is why men who want to quickly gain visible muscles avoid stretching. However, stretching, like Pilates - slims the entire figure and allows the muscles to be scratched nicely.
