It’s The Final Stretch! Flexibility Challenge Week 3

It’s the final stretch! (Pun intended) you should be nice and limber by now, so be proud of how far you’ve come. This week’s goal is to take your flexibility to the max. Stretching bands and blocks can help you achieve that new body position or beautiful toe touch that’s picture ready for competition. 

Try this stretching routine daily and don’t forget to point your toes!



• Right and left splits — 30 seconds each

• Standing pike stretch on block — 30 seconds

• Standing heel stretch with bands — 30 seconds each leg

• Standing scale with bands — 30 seconds each leg
• Right and left runners lunge on block– 30 seconds each
• Right and left splits on small block– 30 seconds each

Adding block to your stretching routine will force you to reach farther and in turn create a deeper stretch.

As you become more flexible, increase your block size.

Resistance bands help get your legs up high enough to where you can eventually grab your foot or ankle with your hands.

The challenge may be over but keep stretching all year long to reach your 2017 flexibility goals!
