How To Stretch
by Dr. David Williams

Flexibility training is one of the most neglected parts of a fitness program.

Important points to remember are:

• Don't bounce — stretches should be slow and static
• Hold each stretch a minimum of 10 - 30 seconds
• Stretch opposing muscle groups to avoid muscle imbalances
• Try to relax your whole body while stretching
• Stretch before and after a workout      
• Try to stretch daily
