Stitches come up when you aren’t exercising to keep your body strong and limber. If you have ever had the experience of feeling a stitch, it is likely because you were not taking care of your muscles or stretching enough. Stitches are caused by overusing the same muscle group for extended periods of time. When you are not exercising, this means that the muscles in your body become tight, which can lead to stitches when you aren’t stretching enough. If you don’t stretch frequently and your muscles do not receive enough movement to stay loose, then they will start to tighten up and cause pain as they try desperately to release themselves from the tension. To prevent this from happening, it is important to stretch after every workout so that your muscles remain flexible and limber. You should also make sure that you are regularly exercising other parts of your body so that it stays strong and able to support all of the demanding workouts that take place in other areas of your body such as your abdominals or legs.
