What if You could burn fat by stretching? Would you take a measly ten minutes out of your day to improve your flexibility? Who couldn't spare that? If it were simple to relieve yourself from joint pain AND lose weight, would you deny such a little price?

Weight loss and joint pain relief are closely related. It is estimated that the body’s joints feel three times the pressure of each pound of excess weight on the body. If you're ten pounds overweight, your joints are feeling thirty pounds; not just ten. It adds up to someone thirty pounds overweight.

What if it only took 7 minutes a day to improve your appearance and the health of your joints? The majority of people who are overweight don't realize that their joint health is as bad as it is. Most people with joint problems don’t realize that they risk gaining weight.

The body was designed to work. Yes, that’s a vague statement, but it's true. It is a perfect machine, it reacts perfectly to everything it comes in contact with. Getting sick is a perfect reaction to something foreign in the body. Likewise, gaining weight is a perfect reaction to the body not being as productive as it was perfectly designed to be.

If the joints in a body were to work with optimum efficiency, the body could do what it was designed to do a little easier: burn more fat for more energy.

Many people experience relief from back and joint pain when they are introduced to some sort of stretching regimen. With less joint pain, people can move more. With more motion, people can burn more calories, and ultimately, or should I say ideally, more fat.

To sum it all up. Weight loss can be achieved through stretching because of the body's natural ability to react to optimum performance. The joints in the body are the center of each motion the human body has to react to its surroundings. If these are in peak condition, the body is more efficient in its many jobs; in this case: fat loss, and ultimately, greater health for a longer, fuller, and more confident life.
