Description: Habit Stacking Week 4 Task: 10 mins of stretching

I’m notorious for getting back from a run or workout and then hopping straight in the shower with no stretching 😬😬 this is a good reminder to stretch!!

Johanna

Kaitlyn Reinesch

For stretching, I focus on contracting the opposing muscle I am trying to stretch.  Really helps the tight muscle to relax.

Rich

Nikki

Stretching… definitely an important step that I miss and often just rush off after a workout and don’t stretch or cool down

Kayla

Love this habit idea.  I'm in need of stretching for sure. My legs , especially my calves are tight.

Lily

Kristin Hebein

Yes I definitely need to stretch more so looking forward to it!!

Stephanie

Loved doing this for week 4! Definitely helping with soreness, but also just simple movement that feels good for your body!

Amazing! Once I heard stretching helps to the muscle to recover and grow 😍

Yesenia

Need to figure out how to get more stretching in…great info!

Terri

Been stretching consistently all week, and have totally noticed a mobility difference in my workouts! 🙌🏻

Kristin Wilkins

Haley lane

Love stretching (mindfully of course) when watching Netflix!

Lauren McBean

Rachel Morgan

Jenny

This is such a good one. I feel so much better when I am more mobile. My hips are something I try to focus on when I stretch because walking, running, and even sitting involve your hip flexors!

I used to be so much better at stretching! This is definitely a good one to add to the habit stacking so I can get back into stretching after my workouts 👏🏼🤗

Tori

Stretching has always been important to me & yoga. Good stuff. Thnx.

Stretching is a good one-one I need to remember to do more often!

Stretching is vital esp as you age to not let it go and be forgotten. I do almost a full body stretch routine every single day. I wouldn’t be able to do half of what I do now if I did not stretch and keep my joints prepared for a good day’s workout.

Kimberly Stack

I love this habit to add. Stretching is something I don’t do enough of and I need to focus more on mindful stretching so this is great!!

Ashley

So need stretching and something I'm so good at neglecting.

The Beth Ever

Barbara

Kiley McGill

Kaylee Moore 

This is what I’ve been needing! Super excited for this!!

Alice

Jerri

Orelle

Lauren

María Jimenez Meza

Ooof. Stretching is a weak point for me!! 10min a day seems achievable and I'm committed to trying my best! ❤️

Rachel Moore

I love stretching! Being 49 I feel like I need it more and more and it helps so much with this ole body! 😂

Melany

Excellent habit to stack! Stretching is so important and adds years to your life. So good for mind, body & soul 💖💖💖

Chelsi Thibault

Currently stretching out a knot in my calf. I love stretching and don’t do it enough.

I do not do enough of stretching! I am excited for the habit stacking. I need to focus on glutes, upper back and arms for stretching.

Brooke

Jeannette Watka

I have really let stretching fall by the wayside as I’ve gotten older. I really need to focus on stretching my quads!

Leah

Madelyn Wells

Love this! Been trying to prioritize daily stretching so this will be a good reminder. 😊

Christina

I need to be told to stretch so bad! Thank you for this!

Kimberly

Sarah

We have made it to week 4 of my Core Challenge, which means we are HALFWAY there!! Just 3 more weeks to go and can’t believe it! Thank you to you all for sticking with me and for committing to yourselves. Let’s make the second half better than the first! 💪 Please watch this video for some important reminders & announcements.

Before I get into this week’s habit stacking task, I want to announce the winner of last week’s prize. Congratulations Michelle Johnson Sepulvado! 👏 Please send me an email to hi@clairepthomas.com to claim your CPT apparel goodie box!

Our new habit stacking task for week 4 is stretching for at least 10 minutes each day. I’m SO excited for this one because stretching and mobility is something I terribly neglect!

This does not have to be post workout stretching. You can do this anytime of day, however you wish stretch. If you aren’t sure what to do, you’re in luck! I just added a new category titled, “Cool-Downs” where you’ll be able to find stretching and mobility routines. So far, I just have a full body stretching routine, but I plan to add more soon. You can follow this, or come up with your own routine! Be sure to refresh your app if you don’t see this new category. 

Please comment an area on your body that you need to focus on for your stretches this week and maybe share a couple of your favorite stretching exercises if you have any. I could always use some new ideas. 🙏

Talk soon, Team!

💛 Claire

Just wondering started off today with this workout. I set the timer. For 45s do I just do this workout for one round each that’s the part that confuses me?
