When you’re tired, hungry, and just finished working out, sometimes the last thing you want to do is stretch. While it may not always feel necessary, 15-min full body stretch is an imperative part of setting the stage for optimal recovery. By stretching, you give your body the chance to gradually slow down your heart rate to its normal state, cool down the proper way, and more effectively break down lactic acid—all of which set the stage for muscle recovery and repair, improve future range of motion and flexibility, and begin to increase blood circulation back to the muscles.
