Static stretching is a crucial, often skipped step in post-workout recovery, with benefits that extend beyond cooling down. In this episode of our 20-part series, Move for Life, Peter Bowes is joined by Ageless Workout coaches, Nate Wilkins and Shebah Carfagna, to explore how holding stretches can ease muscle tension, support flexibility, and mitigate injury risk.

They suggest whole-body routines, prioritizing major muscle groups like hamstrings and hips significantly aid everyday health and wellbeing. Nate highlights static stretching as a daily “reset,” while Shebah underscores mindset and time management as barriers and solutions. Together, they offer practical ways to build small, consistent habits that enhance longevity.

Always consult your healthcare provider before starting or modifying any fitness program.
