🥱I was feeling not quite energetic today, so though I could do with a nice slow stretch-y kind of workout, and my Advent list of workouts happened to include Breann Mitchell‘s 12 min stretch as part of the FitON Series.
🤳🏻FitOn has a fabulous IOS app, with loads of free workouts, but some of their workouts are also available on YouTube, and this is one of them.
📢And I really like Breann, she has that magic balance of talking to you, but never too much; encouraging you whilst pushing you to try harder.
💪This stretch routine attempts to stretch the whole body, from arms at your back, then to the front then to the floor, then legs and then back.
🦵One of the difficulties with this routine is that it does contain some challenging positions for people with sensitive knee, and there where several movements where I thought I’d better not. My knees would have never forgiven me.
🏠It shows that one really has to be conscious of one’s level, and it’s another reason why I like doing workouts at home where peer pressure won’t get you to go too far.
💃🏽 The description suggests it’s a great warm-up, however I would think for individuals like myself and possibly also others, this really needs a warmup, as the static stretches are really quite deep.
🦶So when doing this one, it might be good to add a bit of walking warmups and arm rowing before getting into the first stretch routine.
✔️Otherwise, a really nice little stretch routine that I will keep on my play list for a post workout stretch.
Happy Working Out Everyone
