| Re: Stretching - A waste of time? Stretching is VITAL.
If anyone does stretching and a proper warm up, then does exercise and compares that to no stretching, they will feel the difference.
When i used to do freestyle football, when i didn't stretch, i couldn't even do half the tricks because my legs were not stretched properly and it HURT.
The same goes for weight lifting if not more so because of the amount you need to use your muscles.
I say always stretch before AND after workout, i even go on the cycle bike 5 minutes before and after too. |
