When you have two legs of different length, work around the problem by stretching each leg individually.

Tight thighs make movement difficult. Stretch them out so you can get back to your normal routine, pain-free.

Dynamic leg stretching will help you ease into a lower body workout by warming up your muscles and making them more flexible.

More than a warm up, dynamic stretches before squats help prime the muscles for action and prevent injury.

Tight quads could be a result of overtraining or from being sedentary. Either way, stretches will help the tightness release.

Doing dynamic stretches before jumping and static stretches after your workout will help you jump higher and farther.

Foam rolling has become increasingly popular for improving mobility, preventing injury, boosting performance and helping you recover after exercising. But before you dive in, there are a few things you need to know to reap the most benefit without hurting yourself.

Whether you bike to work, are training for a triathlon or swear by your favorite Spin class, stretching beforehand can improve your performance and protect you from injury.

Ouch! No one likes being sidelined by an injury. But you can cope with some by doing certain rehabilitative exercises (depending on your injury and if your doctor gives you the OK, of course). While these exercises won’t heal your injury, they can make you feel stronger.

If you sit at a desk, watch a lot of TV or have an aggressive anterior pelvic tilt (aka “Donald Duck butt”), your hamstrings are probably tight. And tight, shortened hamstrings not only make you susceptible to injury, they can also contribute to back pain.

Stretching and strength training are good for your muscles and cardiovascular exercise is good for your heart, but what about your joints? Joints, along with bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments and cartilage, form the musculoskeletal system that allows us to walk, run, jump and move in whatever way we want.

Tights are a timeless addition to both casual and more formal styles; they allow for added warmth while streamlining a look. Tights are well fitted in order to avoid bulk underneath clothing. As sizing varies between brands, some tights may fit well in the leg while being a bit too snug at the waist.
