I always talk about the benefits of stretching, but this may have lead people to believe that stretching is essential for health. This is not the case. You could actually live your whole life without ever stretching and still be quite flexible. Aaron and I collaborated on a post a few days ago and most people in the comments were disgusting. Aarons point was “It’s okay not to stretch” What people heard…. “STRETCHING IS BAD” which is not what was said. I hope we all can move on and continue to do

In defense of stretching… stretching has many benefits. These benefits don’t just disappear if you think strength training is a replacement for stretching. Strength training is probably the healthiest thing you can do for yourself. and by combining it with a stretching practice you are maximizing your benefits, not reducing them. Stay Flexy. #movementbydavid #stayflexy | MovementbyDavid
