Fitness Tips

Incorporate stretching into your routine

Never stretch “cold” muscles. This increases the risk of injury.

If you are going to stretch before exercise, make sure you perform a proper warm-up before doing so. This can be as easy as a slow two minute walk.

ALWAYS stretch after exercise in order to promote flexibility and reduce your risk of injury.
