Workout - Stretching

You have heard of the term warm the butter before you spread it on the bread. This is the same thing, warm your body before you leap into action. Just because you may have been running around all day, shopping, working, chasing after your kids...this does not mean your body is warmed up to do a routine work out of any means. Your body begs for that attention, the extra love me now before you demand more from me. So lets start our work outs on a good note. If you know you are on a time schedule make sure you set aside at least 5 extra minuets to get in that before and after work out stretch.

If you are unsure of what to do, you can ask any instructor at your local gym. If you don't go to the gym and are a do it yourself kind of person. Go on You Tube, or even Google - Pre Workout Stretches.

I have taken the time to get a few for you. I highly recommend you use this before doing anything.

Jimmy Thomas - provides photos that show you what to do for your pre-work out. His set up takes 5-10 minuets of your time.

Here is a Cool Down Video also.
