RIO Fitness Chicago® Tip:

Do you stretch AFTER you exercise? We always should if we want to see quick results from exercise. Stretching after exercise puts our muscles in recovery mode by elongating the muscle, which means better blood flow. Better blood flow means once we take a whey isolate protein (Ex: Natural ISOPURE Zero Carb) after exercise, the protein will digest & absorb quicker = building more LEAN muscle tissue quicker. The more lean muscle tissue we have, the more calories we will burn all day long = the more body fat we will burn. STATIC stretching is the type of stretching you want to do after exercise, NEVER before. DYNAMIC stretching/warmup is what we should do before exercise.
