Stretching Feels Good #ReadersWorkouts

Welcome to Readers’ Workouts, the weekly event where book lovers share workout stories, goals, successes, and challenges.
I mentioned last week that I wasn’t doing anything but walking. In the past week, I tried a bit of stretching. I noticed a marked decrease in flexibility from before. Yoga poses that used to stretch my inner thighs now stretch my outer thighs because my hips are so tight. But, just a few stretches and I’m already seeing an improvement. I’m also remembering why stretching works so well for me. I’m convinced that I have fewer problems with my knees, hips, and back when I perform stretches routinely.
How about you? Is stretching an important part of your routine?

OMG! Stretching just helps me get back on track. Aches dissipate when I just take a few minutes to give that extra stretch. So do I do it everyday? I wish I would, I am trying to make it a habit.
Actually, I’ve been stretching fairly consistently lately. Probably not as much as I should, but more than I have in the past.
I’m planning to go back to the 6am yoga class on Fridays, it’s an early start but I know I’ll feel good after.
After getting my black belt, I feel like I’m on vacation, even at my desk.
Getting your black belt is definitely a high! Congratulations!
