More often than not, after a good workout, many people walk straight past the stretching area in the gym. Some find stretching boring, others just can't visualise themselves as contortionists. Fact is that all non-stretchers are losing out. Correct stretching can be as good for you as the best massage. When you exercise, your muscles contract and relax, contract and relax. The repeated contraction can lead to shortening of the muscles. Muscles also tend to shorten as you get older.

1. Rest n avoid strain on the pulled muscle. dont move the area at all.
2. Put ice on the muscle for not more than 15 minutes every hour. The ice will help decrease swelling and pain.

Even if you feel great after a workout, next-day soreness caused by inflammation from tiny tears in your muscles can still creep up. Exercise physiologist Declan Connolly, PhD, weighs in on how to avoid aches.

START SLOW ------Warm up for 8 to 10 minutes before each workout to gradually raise you heart rate and body temperature. "Warm muscles are more pliable, so you cause less damage," explain Connolly. To step up your routine without paying for it later, do 6 sessions at the same level before increasing intensity.

1. Hydrate yourself well before, during and after the walk.
2. Go slow for the first five minutes.Build up the pace for the next 5 minutes nad maintain over a brisk 30 to 45 minutes.
3. Stand in the middle of the walking surface so that you do not slip.
4. Always place the heel first and let hte foot roll through before pushing off to take the next step.
5. Do not hold the side rail or the front bar for support.
