Don't Skip that Stretch

If you take the time to stretch properly at the end of each session of fitness exercises,it will really pay off in making your running easier and more efficient(injury free).It will also leave you feeling much more comfortable(pain free) the next day.

1. Always stretch after you finish your exercises.This enables you to improve your flexibility because it takes advantage of your muscles being thoroughly warm and more responsive to being lengthened.
2. Don't hurry with your stretches and just finish using shortcuts.This could harm your muscles in the long run.
3. Stretches should be held atleast for 10 seconds but,ideally you should take about 30 seconds over each.
4. When doing stretches,relax and try to gently and progressively extend your range of movement.
5. Consult an experienced certified instructor for the specifics of stretching.
