"LOOK/FEEL GOOD" TIP OF THE DAY - DON'T STRETCH!


...Or at least don't stretch before you hit the gym. Studies show that stretching prior to a workout session can actually better your odds at injury. Overexerting yourself while stretching (even to increase your flexibility) before exercise may tire your muscles out - before you started the real deal! Instead, you should substitute with a gentle 5-10 minute cardio warm-up, and leave the stretching for after your workout!
