Why Do People Skip Stretching?

Many people know the benefits of stretching after a workout, but seldom do it.

WHY DO YOU PEOPLE SKIP THIS?

The most common reasons are:

1. are lazy
2. in a rush
3. unaware of what to stretch
4. do not make the time
5. unsure how the stretch should be done

Setting aside 5-10 minutes at the conclusion of your workout is all that is needed. If you are going to pick three areas to stretch target these muscles: hamstrings, hip flexors, and glutes. Getting into a routine of post workout stretching is an excellent habit and will greatly reduce the chances of muscle fatigue, pain, and/or injury.
