Stretching For This Dummy
Yes, I actually bought a book called Stretching For Dummies.. I just want to write in this short entry that stretching is not to be taken lightly. When I started exercising again, my thought was that stretching would just prevent getting a cramp during exercise and since I never really got cramps, I saw no need to do it. How wrong I was. As a result of not stretching, my groin muscles have gotten so tight that I can’t even sit cross-legged on the floor without it hurting. I hope that I can correct the tightness in my legs by coming up with some kind of stretching routine. Yoga isn’t too feasible at this point because I am way too inflexible. The book is pretty informative, but I have to be sure to follow through. I will probably try stretching at work or while I am out and about in addition to making it part of my current exercise routine of jogging and weight training.
