Stretch it out

Leave a reply

There’s no better way to start your day than to have a nice and uninterrupted stretching. I used to do stretching when I was actively involved in losing weight. I warm up by stretching. Stretching helps a lot in preventing injuries due to strenuous exercises. I lay flat on my yoga mat to stretch both my feet and arms. I felt so relax after doing that. There are times I just want to sleep on the mat than continue my exercise routine. I bet you felt that bliss too while stretching, don’t you?

Aside from stretching, yoga mat is really helpful when you are into yoga. I only wish that yoga mats are wider than their usual size. I’m not sure if yoga mat at this popular online store provides the same support and comfort like my old reliable yoga mat here.

I received a newsletter from an online shopping company this morning and they were offering a new line of active wear. The offer is so tempting that I would like to try some of the products including the sports bra, activity trackers, and perhaps a new pair of rubber shoes. A different newsletter carries musical instruments including presonus firebox. This probably got the interest of music enthusiast. I, on the other hand is curious about the fitness and health stuff. I’m planning to start a physical activity program this year to get back into shape after my surgery last year. I would most likely start with walking.
