Flexibility can be achieved through excercises. Anyone can increase his/her flexibility with patience.
Stretching increases your range of motion and keeps your supples and improves circulation.
Your stretch should be done before and after activity that causes tightness - jogging or aerobic dance. Stretching should be done in a manner that is not stressful. Relaxed stretching helps reduce muscular tension and if done regularly will do more good than forcing yourself too far too fast. But overstretched muscle will tighten up.
Go into a stretch gradually and only as far as you can without strain. Hold it 20-30 seconds and breathe steadily. Release. Stretch again. Hold. And release. Try to increase the stretch very slightly each time. And never hold your breath.
