Streeeeetch

Honestly after training sometimes I wonder if my body will recover properly. I've actually been looking into ways to ensure that my body is recovering to its full potential. One thing is stretching. I see people train and then that's it. No cool down, and not stretch. I was like that. And I found myself being sore for DAYS after that. I don't stretch as thoroughly as I should, because let's be real, I'm 22 and I think I'm invincible. But since I have started stretching a little after I train, I feel so much better!  It may require you to cut your workout by 10 mins, but it will save you in the long run. Don't be stubborn and not stretch. Take care of your body and treat it right.
