Generally speaking, in my opinion, good fitness training can be divided into three parts, namely, warm-up before training and formal fitness training, and stretching after fitness training.

These three parts, as long as we do fitness training, we will do the second part, formal fitness training, and many of us will do warm-up before fitness.

But among these three steps, the only third step, stretching after fitness training, is easily overlooked by many of us, even though many of us know that stretching and relaxation are needed after fitness training.

Because time is tight or because I am too lazy to go, I have no extra strength to stretch and relax, so I ignore this step.

For stretching and relaxation after fitness, I want to say that this is a very important part of our fitness training, which may directly affect our training effect.

The reason why Bian Xiao attaches so much importance to stretching and relaxing is that stretching and relaxing have the following two main benefits for us. Then, Bian Xiao will introduce these two benefits to you.

1. Promote the recovery of our muscles.

What we need to know is that if we want our muscles to have a good training effect, not only the effect of increasing muscles, but also the effect of reducing fat, all of which require our muscles to be effectively restored.

If our muscle recovery effect is not good, it directly shows that our muscle training effect is not good, thinking that we will not strengthen our muscles during training, but will only cause certain damage to our muscles. The process of really strengthening our muscles is the process of muscle recovery.

The reason why stretching and relaxing after training can help our muscles recover is that our muscles are not only well relaxed during stretching and relaxing.

And in the process of stretching and relaxing, our muscles will also open the door to nutrient absorption, so that our muscles can better absorb nutrients and make our muscles recover better.

2. Prevent your muscles from overstretching.

What we need to know is that after a certain part of muscle training, that part of muscle will be in a state of tension for a period of time.

If we don't stretch that part of our muscles during this period, over time, it will make our muscles more tense, which will affect our posture. In serious cases, it will oppress our nerves and affect our health.

For example, if we don't stretch after chest exercise, in the long run, we are likely to become round shoulders or even hunchbacks.
