Why Stretching Matters
Let’s chat about something pretty important. Stretching. Now you might be thinking, “Why is stretching a big deal? I just want to lift weights and get fit.” But here’s the thing, stretching plays a HUGE role in that process.
Warm-Up Stretches
Before you leap into your workout, it’s crucial to loosen up your muscles with some stretching. If your muscles are tight when you start lifting weights or running, you might hurt yourself. You don’t want to strain a muscle and be out of the game, do you?
Post-Workout Cooldown
Finished a killer workout? Feeling like Superman or Wonder Woman? That’s awesome, but hold on a sec! Before you head to the shower, do some cool down stretches. Stretching after a workout helps your body to recover faster. It can also boost your flexibility and even help with muscle growth!
