PATIENT SUCCESS STORY
GREENWOOD VILLAGE LOCATION IS NOW OPEN! The Fitness Lab is excited to announce our newest location at Greenwood Village inside Viking Power Fitness! Come visit us!
My husband and I started at Fitness Lab in January 2018. During our time working with them, we have truly come to appreciate how professional, meticulous, friendly, and most of all fun they are. I have never been someone who loves to workout, but since I started, I have always looked forward tocoming inandworking with all of the different Fitness Trainers and Physical Therapists. We started out, thinking that we would do this for a few months, and now, it would be very hard for me to not come in 2-3 times a week!

THE BENE F I TS OF STRE TCH I NG As you age, your muscle tissue actually dries out a little, causing them to tighten. This causes a loss of range of motion in your joints and tissues, which can really limit your active lifestyles and hinder day-to-day, normal motions. Tasks that used to be simple, such as dressing or squatting down to tie your shoes, now become extremely difficult. A regular stretching program helps lengthen your muscles and makes daily living activities much easier. Everyone can learn to stretch, regardless of age or flexibility. Stretching should be a part of your daily routine, whether you exercise or not. It does not have to involve a huge amount of time, but stretching can end up giving you huge results! Stretching is a natural part of what we do on a daily basis. You might notice that if you have been sitting in a particular position for a long time, you stretch unconsciously. It feels good! In addition to that good feeling, a consistent stretching program will produce large gains in flexibility and joint movement. Be kind to your muscles and they will be kind to you!
