Stretching Exercises

Depending on the weather, you may or may not feel like going outside for a walk or bike ride. But one thing you should be able to do every day is stretching exercises - from touching your toes to performing the splits.

Regardless of how old you are, start now with stretching exercises. Choose a certain time to do them - on getting up, when you get home from school or work, or before you go to bed.

Here's a test. If you sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you, can you bend forward and touch your forehead to your knees...or does your belly get in the way? If your belly does get in the way...time to lose weight!

Stretching exercises won't help you lose weight in and of themselves, but they will keep you limber as you grow older.
