Stretching is a fundamental element of all exercise reigimes. An effective stretch will aid the recovery process, reduce post exercise soreness and enable you to increase your frequency of exercise as a result of reduced post workout muscle trauma.

Stretching also aids in the maintnenace of supleness and flexiility which is critical for members of all ages, regardless of their fitness objectives, whether that be a young client looking for muscle hypertrophy or an older client who simply wants to maintain or increase their muscle condition.

Flexibility is essential for maintaining balance which becomes more critical as we get older and the risk of falls becomes a threat to our mobility and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with confidence.

So, regardless of your age, gender or fintess objective, you need to stretch!

All Core Principles Personal trainers integrate stretching as a fundamental part of our session, whether that be a facilitated stretch at the end of a one on one PT session or at the end of a Group PT session.

Check out our Stretch sequence below to see just how a facilitated stretch works!!
