Here's an article for your reading leisure:

I probably personally need to practice 14 out of the 15....but I'm a stubborn one. =P

Massages? Hmm...I might have to treat myself to a good one tomorrow after all the workouts I have planned for my old ___...hehe.

You can go to Massage Envy relatively inexpensively.  And occasionally I get coupons for some.  I'll post them whenever I get any more. 

Ladies?  Care to chime in on where you get your massages?

fact number 5 is wrong. Ask Dr.McFarlin! You stretch whenever you have time, not before exercises.

Maybe I read it wrong then, but I remember reading to stretch after your workout when your muscles are warmed up. Huh

Did we study from the same physiology book?
