Post Workout Stretches For Better Recovery: Day 1

Why stretching after a workout is important for recovery?

Stretching will increase flexibility and range of motion, and help prevent workout injuries. Your muscles are shortened while you workout, and not stretching them out can cause them to tense up, hurt your posture, and cause unnecessary stiffness.

How will this plan help?

Stretching means more than just doing a few toe touches. This plan will teach you stretches that are deep and focused on the muscles you just used during your workout.
