"I don't know why we still do this." Neither of those guys look like they've participated in sports since grade school. -- nm - Max Apr 1, 12:22 1
- I imagine he used "we" in context of society, not himself personally. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Apr 1, 12:29
What about stretching to increase flexibility? - Strongbad Apr 1, 12:22 1
- Riiiiiiiiiight... "exercise." -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 1, 12:27
What about warm-up/cool-down? -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 1, 12:19 8
- When I was working with a trainer...he said stretching before was a waste of time. But the stretch after/cool down was pretty important. *shrugs* - Jim Apr 1, 12:46 2
  - I guess it depends on what you are doing. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 1, 12:57
  - ^this. -- nm - Remlik Apr 1, 12:49
- No benefit. In fact, it could make you peform *worse*. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Apr 1, 12:22 4
  - He kind of threw that one off as an aside, I wonder if he meant that people spend too much effort warming up. - Max Apr 1, 12:38 3
    - I *know* I have to do a cool-down. If I don't, I will combust. Not sure about a warm-up, though. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 1, 12:45 2
      - depends on what you do. You genreally don't need to warm up unless you want to start a sweat up and get the heart rate up... - Remlik Apr 1, 12:49 1
        
        exactly -- nm - decline Apr 1, 12:53
