Today was an exhausting day! Awake by 5am...at work for 6am sharp...and I didn't stop going until I got home at 4pm. I wanted to get in a workout...but I was too exhausted to even think about it. So what do I do when I feel like this??? I either try to push past it...or I stretch.
Stretching and flexibility work are outrageously underrated. It feels good and is so good for you. On days that I can't get into the gym or I'm feeling way to tired to workout, I know that stretching will get me up, get my blood circulating, and help me relax.
I love FitTv, it is just so convenient! Whenever I am in a mood like today I turn on this channel to help me out. Sixty minutes of "All Star Workout - Stretch Fusion" and I am feeling great.
I encourage everyone to check out the show schedule online so you know when certain shows are on...or if you have comcast cable you can get exercise videos on-demand.
If you don't want to do an entire workout video..take ten minutes out of your day and do a few stretches that you already know and are comfortable with.
Bottom Line.....
No excuses! If you don't want to workout hard because you are tired, don't have enough time, or just don't feel like it, at least stretch. It is very low intensity work which means the benefits far out weigh the amount of energy it takes to do it. You will truly feel great afterward.
