lower body stretches

When you're getting a new routine your body sometimes freaks out a little. You get extra sore, puffy, and need a little extra help to recover. We're all busy so it's easy to let that extra 10 minutes of stretching or foam rolling go. Recovery is so crucial to see change in your body and it helps reduce muscle soreness so you can keep up those sweat sessions.
