Stretching

One area that we did not address in our original Point System was stretching. Stretching is an important piece of the overall fitness plan and helps

Stretching is important for people of all ages and fitness levels. You are able to increase your range of motion and it aids in recovery from workouts of any length or intensity. The more conditioned your muscles and tendons are, the less likely that they'll become injured.

We are opening a category for Stretching, with the ability to accumulate 1 pt. per day for 10 minutes of stretching.

Always be sure to stretch JUST beyond your limit, but not to the point of pain. NEVER bounce when stretching, and when you're "touching your toes" - stretching your hamstrings - be sure that your weight is in your toes, not your heels. You will get a better stretch that way!
