Along with cardiovascular fitness and strength, flexibility is a key component of fitness.  Here are a 3 easy ways to become more flexible.

1.  Hit the floor.  While your kids to chores and hubby folds laundry (ok, guess that’s just MY house – ha ha) you can squeeze in quite a few stretches.  Downward dog, a cat and cow pose, hit the quads, hamstrings and inner thighs then end with a nice cobra.  Now that the house is clean you can relax!

2.  Use TV as a tool.  Comcast’s OnDemand service offers tons of short yoga sessions (about 10 minutes each) that will help with your flexibility.

3.  Use the final few minutes of your exercise session as a cool down.  Yes, you actually are supposed to cool down after your workout!  Stretching after your workout has proven very effective.

Test out these 3 tips and find ones that work for you!

Now go run!
