Thin Post : Stretching

Simply put – I think I need to do more of it.

I used to love the WiiFit for this because the yoga exercises actually taught me how to stretch when before I would just do a couple of random whatevers before settling into my workout routine. With yoga I had a good 10-15 minutes of nothing but stretching, and I feel like it really helped both to make me feel more limber and also not nearly as sore after working out … trouble is, I don’t really do much WiiFit anymore.

I probably should – at least the yoga part, anyways. On one hand, it does seem a little silly to fire up the Wii and get out the balance board for a quick 10-minute, pre-workout stretching routine – maybe I need to just figure out a couple of quick things that I can do or even just imitate some of the ones that I used to do in WiiFit. Either way, I’ve been trying to make a more regular thing of walking the dog, which I’ll talk more about tomorrow, so as much as I’m not really doing a ton of exercising right now, I guess anything to help minimize the amount of achiness the following morning is worth taking into consideration.

Being overweight is bad enough by itself, but just feeling old in general sucks, too!
