Before Exercising, be sure to properly stretch all muscle groups

dlinkwit27 · 26th August 2003, 03:09

I went running today, and I forgot to stretch out my calves, and boy am I paying for it. On one hand, they are rock hard, which is good, on teh other hand they feel like they are on FIRE! Ouch! And then, when I went to get icepacks for them, I opened the freezer, bent down and got them and hit my head on the refrigerator handle (the freezer and fridge are tall and side-by-side). Hurt like a bioch!

Good story huh? Moral: Make sure you properly prepare, no matter how harmless an acticity may be.

Exercising is for morons. If God had meant for us to touch our toes, he would've put them further up.

Like on our knees.

Its too late for this advice for me cuz i tried lifting 100 pounds on the shoulder press a coupple months ago and my arms and back were sore for a coupple days... of course i wasn't signed up to these fourms yet so it wouldn't of mattered...

BTW I CAN lift 100 pounds about 10 times on the shoulder press...(its where you push up when you sitting down)

Your as bad as me, I like that.

hmm....I mix various forms of training and man does it take a toll on the knees. After riding/running my knees would feel like a stabbing pain at the back. Luckily, an associate of mine is a fitness expert and as it turns out I need to stretch more before starting. Yeah right. Why did I not have to do this when I was younger?

Streching before "mousing" or other activities is very important!

Stretching is a must when I go out on the football field. We stretch as a team, then split up by position. Right now my neck is sore from tackling all day yesterday and today, but everything else is fine.

Why did I not have to do this when I was younger? I am so important I feel the need to let it be known like a liberal discovering the internets for the first time. Uh hur hur hur. I also wash myself with a rag on a stick. Reality bites <3
