WOD - Monday April 27th Flexibility

Hey PE people,
Monday's WOD is all about Flexibility


Why stretching is important
Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way.Sep 25, 2019

Three options for you listed below.  Make sure you warm up before you start stretching....you can do this through a dynamic warm up or a little movement (jumping jacks, skip rope, short jog, run up and down the stairs a few times etc...).

1.  Strong Core Flow Yoga with Noelle from Revelstoke's Balu Yoga

2.  Try this darabee stretch routine after a run/ride etc...
Sore Muscles

3.  A beginner stretching routine 20minutes ***Watch the hyperextension of the back, I would only go as high as you can naturally lift your torso without the help of hands.
