November 14: Stretch

[View]

Flexibility is key to maintaining mobility and preventing injury. This week, says Bruce Krahn, "do three 10-minute stretching sessions that work all your major muscles, ideally after a cardio workout when your muscles are warm." Try our quick routine for ideas and don’t forget to breathe.

Prone to overuse injuries or tightness in specific areas? It's worth investing in some one-on-one time with a personal trainer, yoga teacher or other specialist so they can create a routine for your specific needs.

This week's Challenge

"Don’t fall off the exercise wagon over the holidays," says Bruce Krahn. This week, sit down with your calendar and schedule regular fitness sessions for the rest of the month. Even if you can't exercise as often as you usually do, a minimum of three 30-minute workouts a week will keep your stress levels down and your metabolism going.Take the Challenge View All
