Yes Stretching Is Very Important
While some think it’s not safe, let me assure you that strength training for women is a very valuable undertaking. While it’s great to jump in and get started, don’t forget that you should stretch first. When you stretch, you prepare the muscles for movement that is to come. This will help avoid injuries and will increase the range of motion of the area that you’re stretching. You also want to do some stretching exercises after you’ve worked out because this will help reduce the soreness that inevitably comes after a hard workout. Stretch until you feel the tension and then hold it for about 10-20 seconds.
