			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Did you know that <strong>stretching</strong> your <strong>body </strong>properly can give you <strong>better health and performance</strong>?</em></p>
<p>It&#8217;s true.  Most people have a huge misconception when it comes to stretching.  Some people don&#8217;t do it at all, while others do a couple of token stretches and figure they&#8217;re set.  But what if you could virtually eliminate the <strong>muscle pain</strong> after a <strong>workout</strong>?  Just by stretching?</p>
<p>It&#8217;s true!  And we can also eliminate the pain on your wallet.  Buy the Stretching Handbook and you&#8217;ll receive a 100% money back guarantee!  That&#8217;s right.  If you&#8217;re a member at <strong>Geelong&#8217;s Gym</strong> we&#8217;ll take the cost of the book off your membership payments.  If you&#8217;re not a member, we&#8217;ll take the cost of the book off off your new membership when you sign up.  All you need to do is bring in your proof of purchase.  But back to the stretching&#8230;</p>
<p>A <strong>regular stretching program</strong> can lengthen your muscles and make your daily activities so much easier.  Just think, no more easing yourself down, centimetre by centimetre, onto the couch after that run you went for or that <a href="http://www.geelongsgym.com.au/classes.php#body-step" target="_blank"><strong>step class</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Stretching is something anyone of any age can do and the best thing is, you can do it while watching the TV, working on the computer or getting ready for bed.</p>
<div id="attachment_547" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 209px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-547" title="adult exercise yoga stretching" src="http://www.geelongsgym.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Yoga_iStock_000007967431Medium1-199x300.jpg" alt="A good stretch before your exercise will do wonders for your workout!" width="199" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">A good stretch before your exercise will do wonders for your workout!</p></div>
<p>Here are just a few of the incredible benefits you&#8217;ll receive from regular stretching:</p>
<ul>
<li>Reducing <strong>muscle tension</strong></li>
<li>Increased range of movement in the joints</li>
<li>Enhanced <strong>muscular coordination</strong></li>
<li>Increased <strong>blood circulation</strong></li>
<li>Increased <strong>energy levels</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>And if you really want to know about a full range of stretches for every part of your body, complete with step by step photos to walk you through each stretch, then I cannot recommend highly enough <a href="http://www.geelongsgym.com.au/product-stretching-handbook.php" target="_blank"><strong>The Stretching Handbook</strong></a>.</p>
