Stretch Stress

Lying on my back, rope held in each hand and looped around foot acting to effectively double the length of my arms. Focusing on a loose back, with good posture, while fully stretching, and isolating, leg muscles I’m reminded to be careful. Today, the day before a race, is not the day to over stretch. Stretching works the muscles, and if you put yourself into new areas of discomfort you will feel it the next day. Ten minutes of stretching, within the established ranges of motion, is the best bet the night before a race or hard workout.
