AMAZING STRETCHES
There are muscles in women that get the tightest: hip flexors, glutes, hamstrings, and chest. Stretching them improves range of motion and flexibility throughout your entire body. You should first do a 10 minute warm-up, such as walking, cycling, or easy jogging. Warming up increases blood flow to the muscles, which will in turn reduce your risk on injury. Stretch the tightest muscle or side first, a tight muscle will inhibit the flexibility of all the others around it. Hold each of these as long as you can(30 seconds).
