Can You Touch Your Toes?

It's a fact. As we age, our muscles and joints become tighter. The flexibility of our 20s gives way to stiffness in our 40s. What's the big deal about stretching you ask? Consider this: the average adult loses 10% flexibility each decade - which can lead to all kinds of problems, from back pain to a lousy golf swing. That's why you probably feel less fluid and less coordinated performing everyday activities - like bending to tie your shoes - at age 45 than at age 25. Few people escape this reality unless they stretch.

Regular stretching lengthens the muscles and increases one's range of motion in joints. Proper stretching helps an individual maintain agility and reduces tension in the muscles.

EVERYONE SHOULD EXERCISE
Especially adults. As we age, we lose flexibility. The decline actually begins in our 20s. Stretching can actually reverse the aging process. Studies show that regular stretchers in their 40s and 50s are more flexible than sedentary 30 year-olds.

The benefits of stretching are many: You'll perform better at physical activities. You'll reduce the risk of injury. You'll feel less stress, improve your posture and feel better overall. If you only do one exercise, it probably should be stretching.

The four keys to fitness include Cardio, Strength, Nutrition, and Flexiblity. Streching is without a doubt the most overlooked element to fitness. It is vital to stretch before and after every workout. True Fitness has introduced two Stretch machines that lift you off the ground and make you use gravity to your advantage. In a recent interview with Tiger Woods, he stated that he stretches his body for over an hour a day. If Tiger Woods did not stretch, he simply would not have the success that he has today

True Fitness offers both a commercial and residential stretch machine.

The innovative TrueStretch is a unique multipurpose stretching station and integrated program designed to prepare the body for improved performance by stretching the proper muscle groups in preparation for specific body movements and activities. No other system allows the user to maintain 4-point contact as they stretch in 3 different planes of motion. Only TrueStretch delivers all these benefits.
