Stretch everyday.
Not only will the stretches help out those muscles that have tightened because of exercising, it will help guard against injuries that may occur during your day.
You don't want one of these injuries to stop your workout.
It is important to stretch before a workout, but just don't stretch too much.
Current studies show that too much stretching before a workout can actually hinder your strength.
And never stretch during a workout, you'll increase your chance of pulling a muscle.
If you can get into a yoga class, you will be doing your body a great bit of good.
Yoga can be very strenuous exercise, but beginners are encouraged to start out slowly.
The great thing about yoga is that it works stretching right into the workout.
Get your rest.
Not only should you make sure that you get a full nights sleep but you should also take time off from exercise.
Our bodies don't replenish nutrients or grow muscle during the workout.
Muscle grows during the time of rest.
If you are working out hard everyday, you aren't giving your body the time to do it's part to give you the reward of a fit body.
Hydrate your body.
We are losing water constantly and we lose even more during a workout.
Keep your body hydrated by drinking during your day and giving yourself a good dose of water after your workout.
If your urine has any yellow color, you are not getting enough water in your system.
You will need this water to carry away the toxins that are created in your body as you exercise.
