Stretching and Staying Flexible
Bend, Stretch, and flex! Weight training helps maintain or can even improve your flexibility and range of motion if the proper form is used and you stretch before, during or after your workout. Just remember during strength training exercises to fully extend and retract throughout the motion. In other words. Use full range of motion in all of your weight training exercises.
Lastly, you can never stretch enough so feel free to stretch in the middle of your exercise sets. Most people do a pre- or post-workout stretch. You can do both if you would like.
