Today's inspiration comes from "Legally Blonde." Instead of trying to attract the attention of your heart's desire, though, we're going to stretch! You can try some yoga, pilates, or just general stretching at home.

This video from the My Fitness Pal blog has a great post-workout stretch to help your body cool down and begin to repair: http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/2014/07/yoga-for-athletes-post-workout-practice-video/

This article from Nerd Fitness has a video on some post-workout stretches, also, and it explains the benefits and necessity of stretching: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2012/01/16/how-to-stretch/

Have you ever considered setting a fitness goal related to how far you can stretch? A series of mini-goals might be to touch your shins, then your toes, then the floor (over a period of time, not all in one week!).
