Is stretching a waste of time?  No!!  Stretches are by far the most underrated practice in fitness. Make it part of your training programme or your progression and posture will suffer and you might end up walking like a gorilla.

Some of benefits from stretches include:

- faster recovery between sessions
- reduced risk of injury

- increase performance in your training
- more results from exercising the full range of motion of your muscles

So get stretching!
