How many of you find yourself tight as a board as you get older? Flexibility is a huge component that many neglect to pay attention when starting an exercise program. If you don't stretch your muscles out over time they become tighter. This may lead to injury and/or muscle strains. Take at least 10-15 minutes a day to stretch either before and/or after your workouts. This will help you maintain a good range of motion in each joint. A stronger joint usually means the muscles surrounding that joint capsule will be stronger as well.
If you want a great challange go try out a beginner yoga class. This is a great way to improve balance, strength, and flexibility.
