The Names of stretches and The Importance in Fitness

Before we explore the names of stretches, it's important to stress how vital stretching is to your fitness routine. It doesn't matter if your regime happens to be, Cardio, Cycling, Running, Weight training, MMA fighting, you need to stretch.

Preferably everyone should be stretching before and after a workout, a good way around this is to  set aside a time to warm up so all the muscles can be thoroughly stretched out.

You can start with a posture check....

Stand with your back to a wall. Press your heels, buttocks, shoulders and head against the wall. Move the feet forward, and bend your knees so your back slides a few inches down the wall.

Tighten your abdominal muscles so you can flatten your lower back against the wall. Relax. Repeat.
