[QUOTE="Loud3, post: 2477368, member: 562914"] Stretch before, and after your workout for the best effect. It helps the muscles you work to adjust to the added stress. Also, if you REALLY want to lose weight, and are going for the lean and trim look, then you should be running as a 'cool down' after you work out. The more your heart works to supply blood to the muscles being worked, the better. Also, when you add bulk muscle to your body, you lose a lot of your standard flexibility unless you stretch to accomodate the new muscle. The best part about working out, is knowing that you're healthy, and it could add years to your life. Not to mention help out against possible health issues later in life, such as heart problems, and lung issues. I took some personal trainer courses in college, but chose not to stick with it, although I am still very active and go to the gym about twice a week usually. I could technically get certified as a personal trainer, but that's not what I wanted in life. Soreness of muscles is good, so long as it is NOT in your joint area. [/QUOTE]
