Flexibility training, such as stretching, is an often-ignored type of exercise designed to improve the body's range of motion.

The American Council on Exercise says benefits of flexibility training may include:

  • Better posture and improved freedom of movement.
  • Improved relaxation, both mentally and physically.
  • Reduced muscle soreness and tension.
  • Lower risk of injury.
