In order to keep your muscles supple after physical exertion, it is a good idea to do some stretching exercises. These will also help to prevent injuries. Stretching isn't difficult, but you must do it properly otherwise it will do more harm than good. It isn't painful if you do it properly.
This strength exercise can be carried out without using any special fitness apparatus or weights. Make sure that you fully read and understand how the exercise should be done. Try to keep your movements fluent to reduce the chance of you pulling any muscles. Developing strength is important for everybody. Even athletes whose goal is focused purely on endurance - such as someone who is training for a marathon - should carry out some kind of strength training.
