The Importance of Stretching Before Exercising
When it comes to the subject of stretching before an exercise session, the opinions vary greatly. In fact, they vary so much that the truth is often misinterpreted along the way. Let’s take a minute to find out what the truth really is when the popular question comes up. Is it best to stretch or not stress before a workout session?
Many people have said that stretching before an exercise session helps prevent injuries.
It doesn’t get much clearer than that. It has been said time and time again that if a person stretches before they exercise, that the risk of being injured is decreased. It’s very important for you to know that there isn’t any rock solid scientific evidence that supports this statement.
Stretching before an exercise session can help increase your range of motion.
Studies have proven that a person who stretches each muscle for about 15-30 seconds will have a greater range of motion than someone who doesn’t stretch before their exercise session. In return, this can make each of your exercise sessions a little easier to complete. With that said, the short amount of time that it takes to stretch before an exercise session may be something you find that’s truly need to add to your exercise routine.
Steve Phillips Affair with Brooke Hundley that Leads to ESPN Suspended
ESPN Baseball Tonight analyst Steve Phillips has been suspended from the network, after an affair with a 22-year-old production assistant Brooke Hundley, according to the New York Post. In what sounds like a bit of David Letterman on steroids the paper claims that the woman would taunt Phillips’ wife!
The paper dubs it a “Fatal Attraction’ like break up and certainly the police report that accompanies notes that he is scared for his wife and kids. Steve Phillips appears to have been forced to police due to Brooke Hundley’s letters and phone calls. “I have extreme concerns about the health and safety of my kids and myself,” Steve Phillips said in a police statement, adding that the woman became “obsessive and delusional” after he dumped her.
“Big Brother 9” Winner Adam Jasinski Was Arrested For Possession of 2,000 Oxycodone Pills
Adam Jasinski, 31, of Delray Beach, Fla., has been charged with attempting to sell 2,000 pills in Massachusetts to a government witness. Federal prosecutors said Jasinski was arrested Saturday after he flew to Boston and showed the witness a sock containing two plastic bags filled with oxycodone, a powerful painkiller that is a popular street drug because of its euphoric effects.
As agents tried to arrest Jasinski at a strip mall in North Reading, he struggled and threw the sock under a car parked nearby, Todd Prough, a special agent with the Drug Enforcement Administration, said in an affidavit filed in court.
Jasinski won $500,000 on “Big Brother 9″ in April 2008. The CBS reality show features contestants who live under constant surveillance and vote once a week to evict each other in hopes of becoming the last houseguest standing and winning the grand prize.
