Workout Wednesday - Stretching & A Challenge

I have always had tight muscles that have lead to injuries.  My injuries have included IT band, tight hamstrings, hip flexors, and now my back.

Here are a few great stretches to help prevent injury:

Hamstring:

Quad:

Calf:

IT Band:

Back:

Hold each stretch for 30-60 seconds.

Along with these stretches, I want to invite you to my November fitness challenge.

The challenge will be for 30 days (November 1 - 30).  The only requirement is to workout 5 days a week for 30 minutes.  You can do any physical activity - walking, running, lifting, or even cleaning.  If you meet those requirements, you'll be entered to win a $25 gift card to your favorite store!  This challenge isn't sponsored by anyone, but myself.  I just want to motivate people to get fit.  If you are interested send me an email - fitnessbyalicia2013@gmail.com or leave a comment below.  I hope you will participate!
