The three main goals that a person should
be working to achieve when exercising
are muscle strengthening, cardiovascular
conditioning, and overall flexibility.
Stretching the muscles before and after a
workout is key to alleviating the possibility of
injuries and sore muscles from an extensive
workout. The sidebars in the TidalFit pool
make stretching easy and convenient.
Most aerobic and strength training programs inherently cause your muscles to contract and flex. That's why regular stretching is a powerful part of any exercise program. Stretching improves the range of motion of your joints. Good range of motion keeps you in better balance. Stretching also improves circulation by increasing the blood flow to your muscles and can speed up recovery after muscle injuries. Relieve stress since stretching relaxes the tense muscles that often accompany stress. Information provided by May Clinic.
