Enhance your range of motion and prevent injuries
Flexibility is the ability to bend without injuring or breaking. Flexibility is a key component of physical exercise because having functional range of motion at all joints of the musculoskeletal system helps and ensures proper body movement.
Flexibility is a joint specific characteristic. For example, someone might be able to do the splits but might not be able to touch their toes. For this reason, having good flexibility in every joint is important. Having good flexibility in all joints enables the body to reach its maximum potential when performing physical exercise.
