Stretching Results:
Oh my goodness. I hear all over the place about folks stretching, especially those who work out and do all kinds of exercising. Even at work they promote daily stretching. Yeah Yeah- I got up and gave the old body a good stretch like the dog does and think that I have actually done something good for myself.
Never did I imagine that regular folks who don't do the gym and exercise scene can benifit from deep stretching. Nor, oh my goodness, did I even realize that my muscles were so tight and probably capped full of all that fuzz stuff that had built up for a really, really long time.
First few days:
It kinda hurts and I certainly felt it the next day, yet I kept on chugging.
After a week:
Wow this feels good now, still a bit tight especially in the hamstring area. I got up one morning fiddled around the house and decided to leave for work a bit early. As I was opening the garage, that feeling of what have I forgotten came to mind (A usual feeling these days) It dawned on me that I had been lost in what ever thoughts I had and forgot to stretch. Sometimes creating new habits for myself has to be put on the "To Do List" until it is second nature, especially when I know it is the best thing for me.
After 2 weeks:
I have found that my entire being now has a more healthy thought process. One of those days, I wanted a snack, looking around the kitchen- those Twix looked pretty good, although it just was not what I wanted. Opened the Fridge and without thinking twice, took out that cucumber. Hmmm could this be related? I really do have this new over all feel good thing going on, leading me into wanting to feel even better and making better choices as to what I want to eat. Wow could this help me on my path to dropping a few pounds?
Here's the Deal: Stretch- not just a one time cat stretch, but deep stretches, it really does give a better since of well being. This is for sure one thing I will keep on my daily.
Moving on with the search and action.
Catch ya later!
