And how, exactly, do we get in shape without hurting ourselves more? As we get out of shape, especially sitting in a chair all day at work as most geeks do, our muscles get week and they get shortened. So, when we decide to get up and get active, we pull and strain muscles unused to doing anything serious.
First, we need to start by stretching these muscles and getting them prepared for what's to come!
A series of posts about stretches for particular muscle sets will follow in the days to come, starting with the legs. Since I love to walk and hike, these are the muscles I am most likely to damage. Due to my recent injury/medication side effect, these muscles are cramping, so I need to get them stretched out and ready to go before Spring gets here, anyway.
