Workout went well today. I had a few problems with the Wiimote and nunchuck registering on a couple exercise on the right side, but got through those without too much trouble. I decided to include how long I stretched for. None of the exercise games I've played tells the importance of stretching, especially after a workout.
We went out to eat for dinner and I didn't order anything healthy. So, i went over my calorie intake by 386. Next time I will make a smarter meal choice, or make sure I have the calories.
GraceQueen, from Scrub Sport, is a Personal Trainer IRL, so I asked her about the importance of stretching, since she would know better than I would. She gave me a couple of resources I'll share with you:
According to the American Council on Exercise "it is safer and more effective to stretch muscles that are properly warmed and, therefore, more pliable. Also, it will help to further facilitate postworkout recovery." American College of Sports Medicine recommends you stretch a minimum of 2-3 days/week for 20 minutes, with 5-7 days/week ideal. Thanks GraceQueen for helping me get this information!
Hope this information helps you. Don't forget to stretch after your workout!
