    Stretches you should try to do every morning + night!

    One of the things that I try to do every day for my health is stretch. Stretching is important.  When you take the time to stretch it helps to keep your muscles flexible, strong and working properly. For our joints to keep a range of motion, stretching is needed to maintain flexibility. When we do not do it, our muscles shorten and become tight.
