Many of us go to the gym, get our workout in and then immediately leave. I hardly see any people at my gym actually take the time to cool down and stretch after their workouts. Yes, I am sometimes guilty of this too, but I am currently trying to really focus on dedicating time to stretching and going to yoga classes.
Taking the time to cool down and stretch is so important for the growth and recovery of our muscles. By working out, we are working our muscles and this can lead to many tight muscles. Stretching will help with our flexibility and help with our range of motion. Next time you're in the gym, try to put aside an extra 5-10 minutes to go cool down and stretch. Your muscles will thank you and the more you continue to do this, the better you will feel!
