Post Workout—The Four Basic Stretches (Video)

The perfect post outdoor workout stretching exercises! Working in the great outdoors requires multi-directional movement—up, down, laterally, diagonally, and sometimes even backwards. At the end of your workout, walk it out until your heart rate returns to normal and your legs and muscles feel relaxed (about 1-3 minutes). Find a prop to use as a stretching aid. It can be a bench, a curb, a stump, a boulder, or a fallen log. Click the video and learn more about which stretches are best for your body after your outdoor workouts.
