Exercising combined with an appropriate diet is a great way to manage weight and maximize flexibility and agility. Stretching is an important part of warming-up before a good workout, but do not stretch cold muscles. Stretching is a great way to start a workout, warm up muscles first with a short jog and then stretch before exercising. Stretching muscles lengthens and lubricates them, giving muscles protection from tears and other injuries. Stretching is also a great way to wind down after a workout. Stretching after a workout increases static flexibility. Agility comes from building lean, flexible muscles and developing fast-twitch response. In this free video series on stretching, personal trainer Alice J. Monsaert covers many stretching tips and techniques. Monsaert illustrates stretches for the lower body, warming up for a run or jog, cooling down after a run, prepping for cross-country races, and more.
