Some fitness facts that sound true may actually be myths
or only partly true. If you want to be successful at slimming down and staying
fit, it’s important to know the difference between fitness facts and fiction.
Stretch Before You Exercise
Although fitness experts
have debated about the best time to stretch, the consensus is that it’s better,
safer, and more effective to stretch after
you have warmed up your muscles. “Before exercise you can warm up with easy movements that prepare you for
exercise,” says Debbie Mandel, fitness and stress management expert and author
of Turn On Your Inner Light: Fitness for
Body, Mind, and Soul. For example, if you are going on a run, kick
things off by walking first, she suggests. Then you can stretch your already
warmed-up muscles.
