Go Deep: Stretching for Fitness

Too often, people jump right into a workout program without a proper understanding of the importance of stretching. Flexibility is one of the most important components of your fitness program, as important as aerobic conditioning, strength training and nutrition. Many people either skip stretching entirely from their workouts or do the same ineffective stretching drills they learned growing up. Not only can stretching improve flexibility and help prevent injuries, it's a proven way to enhance your overall performance and create a total sense of mind and body rejuvenation.
