Add Stretching to Your Routine

Stretching throughout the day and after exercise has been shown to decrease the risk of injuries and improve blood flow to the muscles. By stretching regularly, we can increase flexibility and increase our range of motion to important joints and tendons, reducing the risk of trauma or overuse injuries.

To stretch a muscle, try to lengthen it to the point where you just feel the muscle beginning to stretch. It should never hurt. Hold the stretch for 6-10 seconds, stretching more if the muscle relaxes in that period of time. Relax then repeat the exercise.
