You need to push beyond the relative comfortable zones in which you can easily complete a series of reps in order to develop strength. That means your biceps, quads, abs, or any other muscle group, run the risk of getting damaged. Not lifting properly or pushing too hard can strain and tear your muscles and leave you <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/muscle-soreness/AN00933">damaged</a>. Getting the ability to work the muscles again takes time, and often the only option for healing is letting your body rest.

Everyday we tense or fatigue our muscles and stretching can make a difference in how we feel everyday.<br /></p><p>2. Stretching not only enhances physical fitness, it promotes relaxation, both mental and physical. Stretch for a few minutes a day and discover a more youthful, supple body that protects itself against injury in and out of the gym.</p><p>3. Stretch in the shower. The hot water will loosen up your muscles and help release stored tension, enabling you to start the day feeling more relaxed, at peace, and ready to handle what comes your way.<br /><br /> 4. Stretch all muscles and muscle groups when stretching. Overstretching one muscle group such as our hamstrings, and never stretching our quadriceps can contribute to imbalances.
