One quick question for all of you out there: How many of you do stretching? Not just before and after a workout but generally throughout the day?
Some of you may but I’m guessing most of you don’t. Even some of my friends who are in to fitness and gym don’t stretch before or after their exercise.
Did you know that stretching is just as important as exercise?
In general sense, it helps to improve flexibility and assists incorrect posture especially for those who spends most of the time on computers or on desk. Even for your mind, a short amount of time in the middle of your study or work can calm the mind and give your chance to recharge from the mental break. Below is a video which explains short stretching work outs you can easily follow.
At least 3 to 5 minutes of stretching
before you get in to actual exercise is crucial in avoiding any injuries in the
future. Each of your major muscles should be warmed up before and also after.
When muscles perform any exercise, they tighten and shorten. Hence stretching
them out allows restoring the movement as well as reducing the soreness.
So remember to stretch before and after
workout! It will prevent you from any serious injuries. Remember, you want to be fit and stay safe.
Be fit, be happy and be safe! :)
