No matter what sporting event you ever go to, you will always see the athletics warming up before the event. Why? Well, first of all it is essential to optimal performance but most importantly for the safety of the athletic.
When ever you are going to work your body hard you will want to stretch your muscles and prepare them for the pain they are about to experience. Your flexibility is also increased. Many don't realize that besides stretching before performing, one should also stretch after performance while your muscles are still warmed up. Why? Because this can really benefit your flexibility.
For those not used of stretching much, it can be a challenging task. It's important to not try the toughest and hardest stretches at the beginning, just like anything else it's best to start and progress incrementally. While stretching it is best to hold your stretch at minimum twenty seconds, if you can hold it for even longer like around sixty seconds even better. This will increasingly develop your bodies flexibility. Do not bounce your stretches, if you do that you can force yourself into a forced position that can can create strain or damage in certain joints or muscles. All muscle groups in your body need to be warmed up. Your legs, arms, shoulders and even your neck. One important thing to remember when stretching is to know your limitations. Do not force yourself to do a stretch that you can barely do, this has no benefit to you, soon enough in time you will be able to do almost all stretches but this comes with time.
Please remember that exercises and workouts are terrific for the body and your heart. Many forget how healthy cardiovascular exercises such as running, jogging, biking or swimming are for the heart. If you get bored with your stretching routine don't be afraid to put on some music to keep you occupied and entertained during your workout. A good habit to get for yourself is to regularly do some stretching everyday. If you don't work out everyday at least you can get in your daily stretches.
Just always remember how foolish it is to play in a hockey game, football game, baseball game, soccer game or any other sport without stretching first. It is as foolish as going into a hockey game without putting on your helmet or standing at the baseball plate without a helmet on. you wouldn't do that would you? Of course not, because you know that it increases the chances that you can get hurt. The same goes with stretching, it greatly reduces your chance of getting hurt. Keep stretching and take care of your body and your heart.
