There are many scientific studies that have proven that the body has amazing self-regenerating properties. You have to assume responsibility for doing what is necessary and, as you begin exercising, your body will be stressed in the correct manner and will start healing itself. One very important process that the body will initiate is detoxing your system of all of its accumulated toxins and poisons.

Keep in mind that you must eat properly, especially when you exercise, so your body has the nutrition it needs.

When you plan to have a bike tour workout routine, it's imperative to include a comprehensive warm-up using stretches in order to prevent injuries. Cool-down stretches after your workout are just as important as the warm-up stretches you did before your workout.

If you do weight training, then you have more of a reason for stretching. It is well-known that working out with weights makes your muscles shorter. Don't rush into anything. Take your time and do whatever is necessary to ensure optimum health for yourself and maximum fitness for your body.
