Stretching supports weight loss by improving flexibility, boosting circulation, and aiding muscle recovery. While it doesn’t burn many calories alone, it enhances overall fitness, making other exercises more effective.
Dynamic stretches like leg swings and arm circles activate muscles and raise heart rate, helping burn more calories during workouts. Static stretches, such as hamstring stretches, lengthen muscles and improve flexibility, aiding recovery after exercise.
Yoga-inspired stretches like downward dog and warrior poses build both strength and flexibility while promoting mindfulness. This balanced approach helps engage multiple muscle groups and supports long-term fitness.
