Why Ya Need To Stretch Everyday!

Stretching. Yesssss. Stretching is what means you get to exercise again tomorrow. Cuz without it you’ll be CRAZY sore and will not only have a hard time working out — you’ll have a hard time moving around. Trust me, last week I forgot to stretch after my Burn Circuit 1 and I was out of commission for 2 days... 2 DAYS!!!! (crying over here). Just like what you drink is just as important as what you eat, stretching is just as important as exercising. Also, it’s part of exercise. Stretching burns calories! Don’t skimp.

General rule: Active stretching before you work out and passive stretching (aka
traditional stretching where you hold stretches for 15-30 seconds) after when you’re
super warm. 

Sneak in as many little stretch breaks throughout the day as you can. You can stretch just about anywhere — in bed, in the shower, at your desk, waiting in line. Ahhhhh. It feels so good. #mmmmm All I'm asking is that you stretch for at least one song length (can you do two? that’d be rad) after your circuits. Put on some Britney Spears, #OopsIDidItAgain and stretch everything. Relax into your stretches. Enjoy them! You’re preparing yourself to fight the Fitness Dolls fight another day!
