Can stretching exercises really help you lose weight?

Many people will do anything to lose weight, especially through exercise. Maybe some obese people can achieve certain results through exercise, but this effect will rebound with the passage of time, so there is no way to maintain the figure permanently. At this time, you should do some exercise to achieve the effect of no rebound, such as stretching exercise.

First consume physical energy, then stretch your muscles. Stretching should be done after all other exercises. Before stretching exercises, it is recommended to do long-term aerobic exercise, such as swimming, long-term walking, long-distance running, etc. In fact, stretching should be done after any prolonged exercise to ensure that the muscles do not become thicker and remain straight and correct.

Leg stretching is a stretching exercise that is effortless. The pain lies in the fact that it is more painful. Stretching without feeling any pain is ineffective.
