CRUNCHING IS A GREAT WAY TO
RELEASE STRESS.

YOUR DAILY ROUTINE.
STRETCHING WILL HELP IMPROVE
YOUR POSTURE, HELP IMPROVE
FLEXIBILITY, AND PREVENT INJURY
AS WELL.
AS WELL.
AS WELL. TODAY ALEXA AND I WILL
DEMONSTRATE STRETCHING THAT CAN
BE DONE RIGHT IN YOUR LIVING
ROOM EVERY DAY WITH YOUR FAMILY
>> AND THESE ARE THINGS YOU
WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU GO
OUTSIDE AND EXERCISE?
OR ARE THEY TO COOL DOWN?
>> GOOD QUESTION.
THE FIRST STRETCH IS CALLED
DYNAMIC STRETCHING.
DYNAMIC STRETCHING. THIS CAN BE DONE PRIOR TO
ACTIVITY.
ACTIVITY.
ACTIVITY. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF JUST
MARCHING.
MARCHING.
MARCHING. WE WILL DEMONSTRATE DYNAMIC
STRETCHES GETTING THOSE
LIGAMENTS AND TENDONS WARM
GETTING THAT HEART RATE
ELEVATED.
ELEVATED.
ELEVATED. WE ALWAYS WANT TO WARM UP OUR
BODY FIRST.
BODY FIRST. AFTER WE DO OUR ACTIVITY, AFTER
WE GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY,
ELEVATING THAT HEART RATE, WE
WANT TO AND WAS STRETCHES AS
WELL.
WELL.
WELL. AFTER YOU DO THE ACTIVITY, TO A
STRETCH.
STRETCH.
STRETCH. YOU ARE GOING TO HOLD FOR 30
SECONDS.
SECONDS.
SECONDS. THREE THROUGH YOUR NOSE AND
EXHALE OUT TO THEN MELT.
THEN SWITCH TO THE OTHER SIDE.
ALWAYS DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR
BODY AND TRY NOT TO PULL ANY
MUSCLES.
MUSCLES.
MUSCLES. THIS WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD
REACH.
REACH.
REACH. AND ANOTHER FORM OF STRETCHING
IS WHERE YOU HOLD FOR TWO
SECONDS AND THEN RELEASE.
YOU CONTRACTED THAT MUSCLE FOR
TWO SECONDS AND THEN RELEASING.
LET'S TRY THE OTHER SIDE
STRETCH AND HOLD AND THEN
RELEASE.
RELEASE.
RELEASE. STRETCH AND HOLD, AND THEN
RELEASE.
RELEASE.
RELEASE. ANOTHER FORM IS ONE THAT YOU
WANT TO BE CAREFUL WITH.
MY DAUGHTER IS A CHEERLEADER
AND THAT IS A KICK.
SHE WILL DEMONSTRATE THOSE
KICKS.
KICKS.
KICKS. THAT IS A FORM OF BALLISTIC
STRETCHING.
STRETCHING. LET'S HEAD TO THE MATCH.
GET ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR.
WE ARE GOING TO DO SOMETHING
CALLED PASSIVE STRETCHING.
MAYBE YOU HAVE A ROPE OR
SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN HANG
ONTO.
ONTO.
ONTO. MANY OF US EXPERIENCE LOTS OF
TIGHTNESS IN THOSE HAMSTRINGS
AND LOWER BACK.
THIS STRETCH WILL HELP RELIEVE
THAT LACTIC ACID AND RELEASE
THAT TENSION AND THOSE
HAMSTRINGS.
HAMSTRINGS. YOU WANT TO HOLD THIS STRETCH
FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS, INHALING
AND EXHALING OUT TO YOUR NOSE.
WE HAVE A PARTNER.
AT HOME WHEN I DO THIS I WILL
STRETCH THOSE HAMSTRINGS AND
SHE WILL PUT HER LEG AGAINST
ME.
ME.
ME. I
ME. I WILL PUT SOME PRESSURE
AGAINST HER.
AGAINST HER. SHE WILL PUSH AGAINST ME AND I
WILL PUSH AGAINST HER FOR ABOUT
10 SECONDS.
10 SECONDS. THEM A RELEASE FOR ABOUT 30
SECONDS.
SECONDS.
SECONDS. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT BE RIGHT DOWN
HERE, AND THAT IS OKAY.
DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU.
KEEP YOUR BOOTY ON THE GROUND
AND YOUR LOWER BACK ON THE
GROUND AS WELL.
WE WILL PUSH AGAINST EACH OTHER
FOR ABOUT FIVE TO 10 SECONDS
AND THEN RELEASE.
AND THEN YOU CAN LIE ON THIS
VERTICALLY.
VERTICALLY. SHE IS GOING TO MAKE SURE HER
HEAD IS ON THE FOAM ROLLER AND
SHE WILL GO BACK AND FORTH LIKE
SO.
SO.
SO. ANOTHER WAY TO RELEASE THAT
TENSION IS JUST SHOULDER ROLLS
BACKWARD AND SHOULDER ROLLS
FORWARD.
FORWARD.
FORWARD. SO WE HOLD A LOT OF ATTENTION
AND THOSE SHOULDERS.
THIS WILL HELP RELEASE THAT
PRESSURE.
PRESSURE.
PRESSURE. >> THAT IS WHAT I WAS GOING TO
SAY.
SAY.
SAY. ALL
SAY. ALL OF THESE THINGS HELPS US
WITH OUR POSTURE AND HELPS US
WITH BREATHING AND TAKING A
MOMENT TO DO SOMETHING HEALTHY
WITH OURSELVES.
WITH OURSELVES. AND WE GET TO SPEND TIME WITH
OUR FAMILY DOING SOMETHING
POSITIVE LIKE THIS.
