Stretching helps ease tensions around joints, improves body mobility and flexibility, encourages better coordination, and boosts mood. The use of the chair minimizes the risks of injury without compromising the overall benefits of exercise. The set may be done by itself or as a warm-up or cool-down to accompany other fitness routines.
