Stretches? What stretches? This time of year, the countdown is on: How long till you can kill the screen, jump in the car, and hit the nearest trail for a post-work workout?
There’s a potential problem with transitioning too quickly from work to workout: injury. When we sit at desks for hours on end, hunch over computer screens, or even stand too long at work, we will eventually suffer unwanted pain when we start to move, especially too fast too soon.
One solution is trying a few simple stretches to warm up and ease the stiff transition time between static work and active training sessions.
