Stretching is important !!!

 Stretching and warming up

You are probably asking yourself :should i warm up and stretch first or should i save myself some time and energy, and go straight to the workout. Well, a lot of people make the wrong choice and go into their workout without properly warming up and stretching. That is how injuries are made.
Every time when you exercise you should first stretch and warm up for about 5-10 minutes.
This will prevent injuries and also you will be more energized for the exercise since warming up will raise your body's temperature and it will make your heart pump a little faster you will have more energy for the exercise.

Also you should stretch your muscles at the end of every exercise.
This will allow your muscles to regenerate faster and to grow stronger, also it will prevent from getting sore the next day.

Important note: When you stretch your muscles before your workout you may lose a little strength, but you will gain more speed from your muscles.
