Stretching Exercises

Stretching exercises are one of the most overlooked part of most workout routines. When we are young are bodies are very flexible so skipping stretches before and after a workout doesn't really seem to matter much. Unfortunately over time the effects of injuries and gravity start to catch up with us and we begin to reap the consequences of our actions.

Having taken martial arts when I was a teenager showed me how properstretching can drastically improve your physical abilities. In a few short months I went from struggling to get half way down in the splits to being able to fall into a full split anytime I wanted. This not only helped me to kick higher but it improved my quickness and overall speed in the other sports that I participated in.

A few years ago I discovered Yoga and Pilates which I feel are one of the best ways to not only develop overall muscle tone but they also stretch your entire body at the same time. I would definitely recommend these activities as an all in one workout that will make the most of the time you have.

The sad part of it is proper stretching does not really take that long to do. A few minutes before and after your workout is plenty to keep your body flexible and injury free. I also recommend taking a few minutes when you get up and before you go to bed to relax and focus your mind and body. Make stretching a priority in your life and you will see the rewards well into old age.
