2 Weeks to Christmas. Can you believe it? That means just another 4 weeks until New Year's Day. Have you stuck with your program? Have you fallen into the busy holiday season hype? If so, that's ok. Because each day is new. And you can get right back on track and restart. Here's your 8th tip. This one sounds simple, and it is. But it's also very important.
Always, Always Stretch
Stretching improves flexibility, blood flow, muscle recovery, low back pain and a host of other things. Additionally, stretching can prevent injury, make you sleep better and improve your performance in all activities and sports.
Always stretch, but be certain not to stretch cold muscles. You should always warm up before stretching. However, it is very important that you know how to stretch. Never bounce! Slow, static stretches. Seek out a fitness professional to show you the proper execution and timing of your stretches.
To your fitness success,
Tim Chudy
