Few people don’t know how important it is to stretch (拉伸伸展) before a workout session since it helps in stimulating your movements, warming up your body, and preparing for the exercise. But most people are extremely ignorant of the post-exercise stretching.【小题1】Actually, the benefits of stretching after exercise are plentiful.

Flexibility is improved.

When you hold static and deep stretch poses at the end of your workout routine, you will have more access to the length in various parts of your body.【小题2】.This is the biggest advantage of stretching after workout.

Muscle tension is lowered.

Have you ever wondered why your muscles become sore (酸痛的) after a workout routine? Well, that is because your body produces lactic acid.【小题3】.Thanks to stretching,oxygen is distributed throughout your body and muscles, which can reduce lactic acid production and buildup.

Injuries are avoided.

After an intense workout, with tightened muscles, your body is more likely to suffer tearing of muscle tissues. However, during stretching, the muscles are lengthened, which means the risk is way less.【小题4】. So save your body from being an easy target for injuries.

While stretching, don’t push yourself too hard. Remember, this is meant to relax you, not to cause additional pressure on you. You may be tempted to rest immediately after a workout session. But trust us: the post-exercise stretching is of critical importance.【小题5】. But in due time, you will.

Staying healthy is important, but many people neglect (忽视) their health because they don’t think they have the time to look after it. It’s not just a time matter; people think it’s boring to spend time on their health. In fact, you can do some simple things to get healthier and have fun.

There’re some fun things that hardly seem like they are for keeping you healthy at all, but they do help. The first thing you can do is singing. Singing improves your oxygen(氧气) flow, which in turn is good for your skin and immune system(免疫系统). It’s also good for your brain. Another feel-good and health-improving activity is laughing. You can watch a funny movie. Laughing is a healthy way to reduce stress and pain, improve brain function, lower blood pressure and protect the heart.

Laughing and singing might go together, but for something completely normal that you do every day, you should eat to stay healthy. It’s unhealthy not to eat breakfast or try to work on an empty stomach. You can eat some fruit or other healthy snacks instead of missing a meal.

Exercise is important to staying healthy, but it often feels more like work than fun. One thing you can do to have more fun is attend a dance class. Dancing in a safe environment is good exercise as well as fun. Taking classes in kung fu can be a lot of fun too. It can be a great way to lose weight, but you should probably consult your doctor before starting if you are in bad health or very overweight.
