stretching

As the fitness industry continues to grow it is becoming ever more important to take care of your body with proper recovery. Not only sleep and nutrition is necessary but giving the appropriate attention to your muscles they deserve. There are a lot of products out there that are inexpensive and will give your muscles the benefit of deep tissue work. This process is called SMR or Self-Myofacial Release.

The jury may still be out as to whether stretching actually prevents injuries and/or improves athletic performance but one thing is for sure - it feels good.  And for increasing flexibility, there's nothing like a good stretch.
