Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 Bree, I'm sure Bill talked about stretching somewhere in that book. If I recall you should warm up your muscles then stretch before your workout. Then stretch again after your workout. ~Laury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 Bree, As I recall Bill was asked this question directly during an online seminar. He stated that the first 12 reps of the workout for that body part acts as the stretching. Its built into the program. Personally I stretch on my own before lifting.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2009 Report Share Posted May 22, 2009 Great day, ! Sounds like you took a bit of a break - but hit it hard on the housework, anyway! I thought about doing a big clean on the kitchen and living room today, but thankfully that feeling went away. ROFLOL! And I'm glad to hear that the stretch did you good, too. It sounds like you'll be plenty busy tomorrow, and Super Cardio will wait for you. You'll be more charged up for it, too! Have a great party! And good luck at your reading, too. I'm sure you'll do great - and I think I remember seeing the cemetery. I remember the church! And you MUST share recipes - even the bad ones! lol Hugs, Sara > Hopefully the nice weather will hold out both days too. I've done a good job of talking myself out of Super Cardio I think! That's one less Buck in my jar but that might be okay too! :-) > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 , Debbie Sieber's stretch videos are my favorite non-yoga stretch practices. I think they are pretty thorough, from Slim & Limber, Cool It Off, and Cool It Off Express. The music isn't great, but I think you have the option to mute the music and use your own. Sometimes I put off stretching because I want to burn the most calories in what precious spare time I do have, but it's sooooo important to make time for this to prevent injuries, and also to give the spirit a rest too. I like that usually she holds the stretch for an ample amount of time. Anyway, good on you for fitting it in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 Hi , I think you're the one that recommended I get Cool It Off as a matter of fact! I need to do it more often. I'm glad I fit it in last week but I'm just not doing enough with stretching... maybe I should do a dollar in the jar thing for stretching... hmmmmm...

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I am wondering how flexible one should be and are there any downsides to flexibility and if so can they be overcome? I know that you shouldn't stretch your ligaments as they add to stability but can being really flexible hinder sports performance? I read something this week about an inverse relationship between flexibility and heart disease so there is one more reason to implement this. Do you know of a book or website that could steer me in the right direction? thank you, Teri Pokere Brisbane, Australia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 HI Teri Correlation does not mean cause. So the question to ask is was being flexible a consequence of some other lifestyle factor that reduced heart disease also? E.g. if participating in a sport made you flexible and it also reduced heart disease, flexibility and heart disease correlate, although the two are not related? Your participation in exercise may already help heart disease?
