One of the best things about your Place Properties apartment is the gym that you get to use right at the end of your fingertips that’s included in your rent! From treadmills, to the elliptical, to free weights, working out has never been easier or more convenient than a simple walk to the clubhouse!

However, did you know JUST how crucial stretching your muscles was in reference to your total body workout? I didn’t either! Before you jump on that treadmill, you know you should stretch your muscles for at least about 10 to 15 minutes and after you workout, another good 10 minutes. With the hustle and bustle of every day, those combined 20 minutes are important!

Next time you think about skipping it, remember this: Stretching actually does more help than you may think it does. First of all it warms up your muscles so they can endure the extra impact that running takes out on them. However, here’s the kicker! It’s been said that stretching actually HELPS you to thin out faster! If you muscles are warmed up, they get leaner faster! And yes ladies and gentlemen, this applies to your abs as well! Here is a good position to help you achieve that.

Has this changed your mind yet about stretching? Thought so! Get lean & fit now!
