Post on Sat, Mar 20, 2010 by Scott O'Dell
A more effective warm-up than static stretching can consist of the elliptical, bike, stairmaster, jump rope, etc. Static stretching (when you stretch a muscle and hold it for 10-15 seconds) should not be performed previous to training, as research has shown that static stretching before training does not aid in...... -
Going for Green Tea
Post on Wed, Mar 17, 2010 by Paula Gallagher
