Day 013 - Don't stretch before workouts

Day off        Training via ActiveMail

TAKE TODAY OFF: Research shows that stretching before a workout doesn't help you. It may even increase your chance of injury. Your best bet is to skip the stretches and just start running or walking at a slow, easy pace. When you start feeling warmer and more limber, you're ready to go a little faster. The same thing applies to weightlifting: start with 5-10 minutes of slow, easy walking or running (or skiing or rowing on the machines at your gym) before you start your lifting.
