Stretching

SKINSFAN · 07-26-2001, 05:48 PM

I really don't feel I have a good stretching program. I recently read an article at t-mag "a lazy mans guide to stretching" there are an awful lot of stretching exercise listed covering the entire body, should I only do stretches for the body part that I worked that day? Does anyone have a "really lazy guide to stretching"?

I don't see the point in doing full body stretching routines unless you are really inflexible.I do believe stretching does help recovery and can reduce the possibility of injuries.
After my workouts, I always cooldown which includes a 5-minute stretching routine;1 stretching exercise for each of the following:hips,hamstrings,quads and shoulder girdle.These are the muscle groups that tighten up on me after a workout.
