RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Seems trivial, but stretching AFTER exercise does help us see faster results. Stretching elongates the muscle = better blood flow. Better blood flow means that when we have protein after exercise it will absorb faster into the muscle = faster muscle recovery/rebuilding/growth = burning more cal all day long. Stretching also prevents lactic acid buildup that makes us sore/slows muscle growth. Always take 5-10mins to stretch.
