It has been a long, hard day at the office, and you need a good workout to blow off all that stress.

The only injuries and serious long-lasting pain I have ever had from serious exercise have been directly attributable to lack of appropriate stretching. Sometimes I can't help but wonder of so many of these "studies" are conducted by people who have never engaged in or experienced what they are supposedly testing.
