5min Stretch for Run Workout

About 5min Stretch for Run Workout Android App

Nothing can derail your fitness goals like an injury. Running with muscles that are cold and not properly stretched can result in a muscle strain that keeps you off your feet -- and off the road or trail -- for days, weeks, or even months. Starting your run with a 5- to 10-minute jog followed by stretching helps warm up your muscles so they’re primed for your run, whether it’s a couple of miles or a marathon. Focus on stretching the major muscle groups you'll be using -- quads, hamstrings, gluteals and hip flexors -- and don't forget moves that also warm up your abs, back and calf muscles.
