Adding this to your routine supports fat loss (and helps you age gracefully!)
Why is stretching and mobility important as we age and for fat loss?
Picture your body as a rusty old car. Without regular maintenance, it's going to start creaking, groaning, and maybe even break down on the side of the road. Hello, Dad noises!
Stretching and mobility are like a tune-up for your body. They keep your joints flexible, your muscles supple, and your balance on point. Think of it as preventative maintenance for your body as you get older.
But how does this help with fat loss?
Now, imagine trying to run a marathon in Crocs. It's tough, right? Similarly, a stiff, inflexible body can hinder your workouts and make it harder to burn calories. Stretching helps improve your range of motion, allowing you to move more efficiently and effectively.
What are you waiting for? Grab your yoga mat or a comfy spot on the floor and start stretching! Search for flexibility and mobility videos on line, take it slow (don’t hurt yourself), and remember that you should consult your doctor before starting any type of workout program.
Start with twenty minutes - that’s only 3.3% of your day - you can make the time, we promise! You’ll improve your posture, increase range of motion, enhance your muscle activation (more calorie burning) and reduce your stress (super beneficial for managing your weight!).
Let’s go!
