Softball equals sprints

Tuesday marks another softball game night! The weather was great :) I was in the outfield and prepared for a great game. We did awesome and ended up winning! I got to come in and relief pitch which got some additional muscles moving and woken up! I did not get much action in the outfield, but I did get great hits and come around the bases quite a few times. I seem to forget sometimes how many sprints I run in the span of a 60 minute game. Team sports are great ways to get those little muscles you don't think about working out a chance to stretch and become active. My abs are still so sore! Now, my groin have decided to feel "worked" along with my abs and lower back! Remember to do good stretching before and after all workouts. No matter how "in shape" you think you are, you are throw your back out just by picking up a pencil! 

Here are some great stretching workouts:
