DID YOU KNOW

Not only does stretching feel good - it's good for you. According to the Mayo Clinic, regular stretching helps increase flexibility, reduce the risk of injury, improve circulation and reduce stress by alleviating muscle tension. There are two main types of stretching - dynamic and static. Static stretches are held 30-60 seconds and best done at the end of your workout when your muscles are warm and you can stretch more deeply. Dynamic stretches involve moving in and out of the stretch in a fluid, repetitive manner. Dynamic stretching is perfect to do as a warm-up before more rigorous exercise. Whichever type of stretching you do, be sure to avoid bouncing or jerking movements. Ideally, you want to stretch before/after every workout, or two to three times a week for best results.
