This was posted on her facebook page and thought I would share, it's great stuff!
"Static stretching after workouts & on off days can help improve your strength & performance.This is because longer muscle fibers permit faster contraction speeds,which can result in greater power.One caveat-do not do static stretching before you lift.It has been shown to decrease power of your contraction and thus the intensity of your workout. Dynamic stretching & cardio as a warm up.Static stretching to cool down."
I continue to remind my clients that stretching is so very important to muscle health... don't forget to stretch AFTER your workout!!
