Limbering up

While not everybody loves exercising, almost everybody knows you have to do it to stay healthy. One thing that should accompany exercise if stretching before and after your routine. Stretching makes you more flexible and prevents injury, yet many people forget to do it — or they just don’t. Stretching won’t help you with that day’s exercise, but over time it improves your muscles. Do you stretch or not stretch? Why or why not?

Good morning. Good question. I workout 5-6 times a week yet i never stretch.. I know one should, but I get lazy or i’m just trying to jump on a machine asap before somebody else does. And after i’m done, im just trying to get outta there!! Again, i realize my mistake and well will try to stretch.
