Page C12 ~ Terrace Standard, Wednesday, October 14, 1992 Stretching is pain- free key to fitness | By KATHY CORBETT LEXIBILITY. The range of mo- tion at all joint areas of the body. The ability to move. : No body is exempt from tightness and tension, especial- ly in this technical, sit-down world. We suffer from a lack of mobility. Flexibilily allows movement with comfort and ease. It is also a very important fitness goal. It helps keep the muscles supple and prepared for body activity. Flexibility is acquired through stretching which feels good when done properly but can cause injury when not. Stretching does not have to be stressful. You do not need to push yourself to the limit or attempt to go further each day. It should be done regularly at each individual's ability and according to their muscular structure, Alexibility and ten~- sion level, The intent is to reduce mus- cular tension and promote free movement. The Easy Stretch Extend and lengthen the body. When you reach as far as you can comfortably, hold the stretch for 10-30 seconds. Do not bounce. - You should feel a mild ten- - sion, then relax as you hold the stretch. Tf the tension does not ease, back off on the extension slightly and again hold. The easy . stretch reduces muscular tightness. The Developmental Stretch .at your house? It's time to call your Welcome Wagon hostess.
