We are living in a world where most of us work in a cubicle or inside a building. Which leads to obesity in the future. After lockdown everyone felt fatigue and understood the need for a workout routine to maintain the shape and keep themselves physically strong and active.
Youngsters like going to the gym, whereas most middle aged and senior citizens prefer walking and jogging. But both of them neglect stretching.
The reason for this is negligence and common misconceptions like ‘oh it’s just a waste of time’ or ‘what’s the use of it?’ but actually stretching is very important and maybe more than the exercises in the long run.
