Why is flexibility important?

Without flexibility our muscles would not be able to move, therefore we could not walk, run, play sports or really do anything except stand there. Flexibility helps increase the blood supply to our working muscles that are required to move. Our blood also delivers nutrients to the joint which helps with our circulation which in turn will allow greater elasticity in our muscles. Flexibility can help with our sports performance because our joints are able to move easier with less effort, therefore making our bodies work more efficiently.
