Program Week 2: Creating a habit of dynamic stretching
Welcome to the second PRACTICE article of this September 2022 health challenge. This week we focus on dynamic stretching!
If you’re reading this, you’re on the right track! You are almost halfway through this September challenge, which will allow you to change your daily life and to alleviate your pains (if you suffer from them) and to prevent them (those which could occur).
Well done for following the first week !
This challenge can do you a lot of good if you follow it with iron discipline! Creating good habits can seem complicated when we are overwhelmed with daily responsibilities and household chores.
The goal of the challenge: To create healthy habits:
This challenge aims to show you that it is possible to develop new, cool habits that can help you tolerate or avoid back pain. Once these simple everyday actions are set in your brain on autopilot, you will take the time to put them into practice without even thinking about it!
The brain is sometimes surprising and has a magical power that can change our lives!
If you have any problems, don’t hesitate to ask for help and support from other members who are following this challenge like you via our facebook group: Acro Wine. We often progress faster as a group and the group energy is important for this type of challenge.
These stretches will become more and more natural for you as the days go by. It is important to continue the good habits of the first week and add the one we are proposing today to your day.
WEEK 2: This week we want to work with dynamic stretching
Your mission is exactly the same as last week, keep finding 5 minutes a day to stretch! But this time the exercises are different; find them attached.
This week, before you stretch, we will suggest you to do these movements slowly, on both sides. To get the blood flowing. It is like starting a car engine, once it is warmed up, the oil circulates better and its performance improves. This lubrication of our spine by the blood makes movements easier, and the stretches that follow will feel more natural.
Gradually, in future challenges, we will increase the intensity of the stretches and incorporate more complex exercises.
The stretches should be gentle and pleasant, the aim at the moment is not to gain flexibility but to relieve tension while strengthening the habit.
“Flexibility is the ability to perform movements, voluntarily and for a specific purpose, with the necessary amplitude of the joints involved.
Dietrich, Martin
