Ask the Trainer: Why Should I Stretch?

HEY SAM: I’m in good shape with big strong muscles. I don’t care about all these “yoga” classes and stretchy bands. Those are for girly-girls. Tell me: Why should I give a rat’s ass about flexibility?

[video] Goat Dressing at Palm Springs “Hot Rodeo”

Watch me and my best college bud Jeremy Yates, take our first official steps as cowboys in the Palm Springs IGRA’s “Hot Rodeo” held this past May. Video recordings are one way athletes can improve performance and practice active visualization.

(Note: the video is in slow motion. We’re on the far right of the frame. I’m in the blue plaid cowboy shirt and white hat).
