RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

If you want to avoid injury & see faster results, stretch after exercise. Stretching after helps to slow down lactic acid buildup (what makes us sore). The more acid buildup, the slower our muscles recover/grow more lean muscle. Exercise tenses muscles up. Stretching after helps them to elongate & go into recovery mode quicker. Leaving them tense by not stretching, is how muscle pulls/strains happen.
