Stretch yourself in the right direction.

A week of allowing myself to splurge a little and I'm feeling pretty great.  This has been a challenge and I'm relieved its almost over.  I was trying to decide what to focus on for next week.  I will be out of town with my little one for most of the week so, something simple would be best.  One of the things I'm not very good about is stretching after my home workouts.  I plan on bringing my mat and free weights with me so, that is going to be my goal.  5 minutes of stretching can sometimes be the difference between being sore the next day or being a just a little bit of discomfort.  Stretching also increases flexibility and helps reduce your chance of injury.  Everyone should stretch after a workout.
