Let’s begin with a water balloon analogy. Although a balloon is designed to hold a significant amount of air, it is extremely difficult for most people to blow one up straight out of the bag. The most successful way to blow a balloon up is to stretch it out a few times. In fact, if the balloon is blown up long enough, it becomes very easy to blow it up again, once the air is let out. The integrity of the balloon is only compromised if blown up past its designed capacity. This same principle holds true for the muscles of your body.
