Stretches will just keep you limber, which is fine. But you need cardio exercise to exercise your heart and muscles. It's mainly your heart that gets the benefits, which stretching won't help.

Stretches will not keep you healthy because you are not exercising all your muscle groups. Doing yoga covers all muscle part of your body. Instead of doing stretching, try yoga.
If you want to get fit and not just healthy, you better do some work-out.

no, it won't keep you healthy. You have to do the work out to be healthy. When you do stretches you are like loosening and warming the muscles so that you can avoid injuries and strains again. Also before a work out it is advisable to do some warming up, the stretches and afterwards the work out.

I'm not a yoga expert but someone who did alot of yoga explained to me that it is simply stretching your body in different positions and holding it. And they seemed to be in pretty good shape. So my vote is yes.

At least start walking. We are natural walkers, but modern society is messing us up. Making us lazy.
We just sit around on the computer or drive around with a cell phone growing from our ear. LOL

Over 30mins walk every day is the best exercise. That's what I do - magic
