FITNESS TIP OF THE DAY!

Exercise in Order

Use dumbbells, barbells, and machines—in that order. "The smaller, stabilizer muscles you use with dumbbells fatigue before your larger muscle groups," says Charles Staley, a strength coach in Las Vegas.  So progress to machines, which require less help from your smaller muscles, as you grow tired.

Today's fitness tip:

Remember to stretch after(not before!) your workout. This helps your muscles remain flexible. If you are under 40 hold the stretch for about 30 seconds and if you are over 40 hold it for about 60 seconds. Please do not bounce while stretching as sudden jerky movements during stretching can lead to injury!

Do have a wonderful day.
