Are you stretching properly?
Flexibility training should be performed after a proper warm-up to allow effective stretching to take place. NEVER STRETCH COLD. Ideally, flexibility fitness should be performed 5 to 7 days a week for all major joints. Stretch to the point of mild discomfort, but not pain. Hold static stretches for 20 to 30 seconds, making sure to take deep even breaths. Static stretching should be performed after the workout. Dynamic stretching is a better way to prepare your muscles for a higher intensity workout.

Increase Athletic Performance- Stretch!
Did you know that athletic performance can be severely hindered by an improper range of motion? Research has shown that lack of flexibility has a more negative impact on sports performance than any other single factor. To get the full potential of the strength and power from muscles, we must be able to use as much of the full length as possible! Don’t sell your athletic performance short! Stop wasting energy and learn to increase your joint flexibility!
Flexibility is an indicator of muscle, tendon, and ligament health. Lack of proper range of motion can lead to poor posture, poor muscle & joint performance, and a breakdown in the kinetic chain, leading to the cumulative injury cycle.
If your muscles need a little stretching TLC, consider Core & Stretch on Saturdays at 9am!
