1. Kindly enumerate and discuss the 10 reasons why we need to stretch according to ACE Fitness.

The first reason on why we need to stretch is that it decreases stress. Stress creates various reactions in
the body which includes anxiety and fatigue. By stretching, it reduces the muscle tension that allows the
muscles to decrease the carrying stress and will make the body feel relaxed.

The second reason is that it will reduce pain and stiffness. Stretching helps to reduce stiffness and
various pain levels. It will help your body to become more pliable, which lessens the risk of injury.

The third reason on why we need to stretch is that it improves our health. Stretching on a regular basis
helps improve the circulation of our body, hence, reduces blood pressure, heart rate and breathing rate.

The fourth reason as to why we need to stretch is it enhances range of motion. Stretching helps the
joints in our body to move through their full range of motion.

Fifth is, stretching improves function. With all the things we do daily such as spending long periods of
time seated, the muscles in our body becomes very tense, tight and contracted which may result to poor
posture. By stretching regularly, it will improve our body posture.

The sixth reason on why we need to stretch is, it may reduce the risk of injury. It will help your body to
become more pliable, which lessens the risk of injury. It significantly influences the muscles which helps
improve flexibility. Flexibility helps the muscles to be strong.

Seventh reason as to why we need to stretch is, it enhances performance. Stretching on a regular basis
help improve agility, speed, power, and muscular strength.

The eight reason is, stretching improves blood flow and circulation. It boosts oxygen levels and helps
deliver nutrients to the muscles.

Ninth reason on why we need to stretch is, it minimizes wear and tear on joints. It improves the
coordination of our body as it allows a freer and easier movement.

The last reason on why need to stretch is, it improves quality of life. With all the reasons stated, they all
contribute to a better life. Generally, it improves health. Thus, stretching increases longevity and
enhances overall quality of life.

2. Discuss the importance of air, water, food, exercise design, proper execution, progression and rest as
factors in developing your fitness and health.

Air is a very important factor in developing fitness and health. When we exercise, our body uses more
oxygen and produces more carbon dioxide. Hence, we need to supply oxygen in our body. We breathe
using our diaphragm and not the chest wall.

Water is equally important to air as well. Water keeps us from being dehydrated while we do our
exercises. We need to be in good hydration before, during and after exercise. That’s why we need to
drink at least 8 glasses of water a day which contains 330 ml per glass.
Exercise design is also very essential in fitness and health. Make sure to plan our workout properly. We
tailor and base our exercises to the capabilities of our bodies. We design our workout plans based
specifically the needs or weaknesses of the body.

Proper execution is also important in fitness and health. We make sure that our positioning is correct.
Improper execution might injure our knees or back and might lose the elasticity of our ligaments and
muscles.

Similarly, progression is a very essential factor in developing fitness and health as well. If people do the
same workouts over and over again, it results a sense of familiarity which can reduce the progress that’s
why we need progression. After 6 weeks, we either change the workout or add exercises. We must keep
in mind that we only increase our plans in just 5%.

Lastly, rest is equally important to all the factors stated. We need rest in everything we do. Rest allows
the body to recover from exhaustion and restores our strength.
