Static Stretches with Becca Marino, NSCA-CPT.mpg

Week 2: 1-A-Day BEST! Me Challenge

Challenge: Make time to stretch at least one muscle group per day!

Things to remember before starting: -ALWAYS, ALWAYS go slow, listen to your body, and stretch only through a pain free, feel good range of motion (R.O.M) - Aim to synchronize your breathing. oInhale in neutral (neutral = relaxed/pre-stretch position) oExhale as you go into the stretch -Duration of stretch: oOption 1) Shoot for 10 30seconds per stretch OR oOption 2) A more mindful approach Holding each stretch as long as you need to, to feel better, or experience relief in that particular target area. Sometimes certain muscle groups or areas of our bodies need a little more attention than others. If time is limited, be sure to focus your efforts on the areas that need it most :)
