# Can you overstretch?

 [Tips](https://www.ricardoriskalla.com/blog/category/tips)

 

 

 

 

 

  I was asked this a few times so let's talk about it.

One of the critical elements in longevity is to be flexible.

Flexibility is critical because a tight body is a limiting body.

Think about leaving the bed and toilet at old age.

So you got the picture.

Flexibility is something that is vital.

I remember that when I started my job as a trainer, I was so tight. Now I am so flexible because I stretch myself many times a day.

And there is not a thing called overstretched.

So start stretching now!

For more tips, read my books available on this website.

Is there such a thing?
