The %DVs (percent daily values) are based on recommendations for a 2,000-calorie diet. For labeling purposes, the FDA sets 2,000 calories as the reference amount for calculating %DVs. When you read a food label, the %DV shows you the percent (or how much) of the recommended daily amount of a nutrient is in a serving of food. By using the %DV, you can tell if this amount is high or low in total fat, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, carbs, protein, etc.

Pay special attention to tight areas. Often the shoulders, chest, hamstrings and hips are particularly tight, but you may also hold tension in other areas, depending on your history of injuries and the existing imbalances in your muscle groups. Unless you tailor your flexibility training to your strengths and weaknesses, you may stretch already overstretched muscles and miss areas that need training."
