Stretching Help


Keeping flexible is very important for us ladies. When we walk on heels, carry babies and do many things women do, our muscles can get very tight, making falls more likely and recovery slow.

I bought these rubber strips which have varying resistance, light/med/hard at the Bartells. They advertised them as pilates bands. You use them to stretch gently and to do resistance work.
I am really liking using them (especially after a long ride) to loosen up.

They are inexpensive, portable (for workouts on vacation) and easy to use. You can get a nice workout without cardio just by doing resistance stretches with these puppies. Give them a try!
