The stretching delema• Do Not Stretch! 10 Reasons Not to Stretch• Here’s some fun reasons not to stretch; some more serious than others. If

you’re overly sensitive about stretching, (noted in #2), you can catch-up on the Sock Doc “Stop Stretching!” – or continue to stretch.

• Stretching is exercise for the muscles like sea water is hydration for the body. When you’re desperate for relief, it feels so right but it’s just so wrong.

• All athletes, especially runners, are so passionate about stretching. They defend it like their political association, religion, or family. I think many of them may have pictures of their kids in their wallets doing all types of cool stretches that they show their coworkers every day at the water cooler. “Look at my little one sitting on both his elbows!”

• Runners will follow any trend they think will make them run faster. Whether it’s a new supplement, pair of socks, pair or shoes, custom orthotics, or stretching. They’re the first in line for Kool-Aid.

• Stretching is a conditioned behavior, not one we are innately born with. I see my kids run, jump, climb, throw things, and carry objects of all sizes. They move well, and efficiently. I’ve never seen them stretch. Their developing nervous systems know better.

• The day I see my dog holding a static stretch is the day I’ll start stretching too.

• Flexibility is a reflection of overall health and fitness. Stretching does absolutely nothing for health or fitness. It’s not exercise. It’s not a warm-up or a cool-down. And it definitely doesn’t substitute for restful sleep or a wholesome diet which will lead to natural flexibility.

• Yoga is not stretching. Stretching is not yoga. Enough of that claim.• Make sure you stretch if you want to weaken muscles, promote injuries,

decrease performance, delay tissue healing, and have absolutely way too much free time.

• Stretching reduces injuries and improves endurance performance just like certain shoes will make you run or jump faster. Neither claim is true.

• I enjoy watching runners stretch. They must stretch because they think they will run faster. I bet they believe in Sasquatch too.
