Stretching not only feels good, it also strengthens your joints and prevents injury. Today, spend at least 10 minutes gently stretching your entire body to remind yourself how good it feels. Hopefully, this will be the first step to a regular practice. _Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine._

    I do my stretching every day when I wake-up before even getting out of bed. I have heard that most heart attacks happen when people jump out of bed when they wake up and run to the bathroom shocking their body…where they are found lying on the bathroom floor.

    a really tight hamstring keeps me from forgetting to stretch before running or other physical activity. It is important to stretch after warming up. I try to jog for about 10 minutes before starting to stretch. I also stretch after exercise

    the best part of my dance class is the stretching. i will try to stretch in the mornings, even if i don’t get a good night’s sleep.

    I work in a daycar and every morning we stretch before we do our exercises. We try to teach the children of the importance of healthy bodies so we do the stretching and exercises with them.

    Exercise is so important to get yourself moving in the morning, even when you don’t feel like getting up. It’s like a natural energy boost.
