Stretching!

I guess I don't really realize the stress I put on my body day in and day out. Now, I'm not saying I don't like it, I do. But sometimes you have to do what you love in moderation to make your body ok. I have started to stretch a bit more after my training sessions and it truly helps. My body feels a million times better when I do stretch. Don't put stretching off because you want to train a little longer. It is a crucial part of training and recovering to stretch. Don't risk an injury just to train for an extra ten mins. It won't be worth it in the long run.
