Why Do People Skip Stretching?
March 5, 2010 by Ryan Krane · 1 Comment
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:
- are lazy
- in a rush
- unaware of what to stretch
- do not make the time
- 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.
