Stretching

Most people neglect warming up before exercising and avoid stretching at the conclusion of their workout. They mention lacking time or feeling too tired to do it.

In order to prepare your body for exercise, do a warm-up followed by some slow and controlled movements (dynamic stretching). At the end of your workout, take some time to stretch your muscles and relax.

Stretching can help improve your flexibility, and consequently, improve your performance in physical activities. In order for your stretching to be effective, you need to be sure to use proper technique. Stretching incorrectly can actually do more harm than good. Our trainers will teach you different ways to stretch before and after each workout.

If you are taking care of an injury, you may need to approach stretching with caution and adjust your techniques. If you have greater health concerns, talk to a health professional before continuing with your exercise program.
