Holiday De-Stress Stretches

De-stress during the holidays with our gentle stretching session with dynamic stretches as a warm up before 30 second static stretches. In addition to relaxation, stretching increases flexibility and mobility and can help prevent injury. Read more about the benefits of stretching here. These no twisting stretches are gentle on the spine and can be done in a chair or standing.

The National Academy of Sports Medicine recommends holding a static stretch for about 30 seconds to achieve better flexibility. But it’s important to listen to your body -- if you’re unable to hold a stretch this long, no problem. Stretch for the time that feels comfortable for you and build up gradually. Try this session or one of our other stretching videos with shorter hold times.
