What are the points for?

There are two main types of points you can earn: personal and friend points.

Personal points include:

Stretch time. You earn 1 point for every minute you stretch.

Consecutive days. You earn 1 point for every consecutive day you stretch.

Consecutive weeks. You earn a bonus 100 points for every 7 days you stretch in a row.

Active challenges. You earn 1 point per day for each unique person you are in a challenge with.

Friend points. You earn friend points when you are in an active challenge. Regardless of the challenge workout time, you will earn 1 point for each minute your challenger stretched. For example, if your active challenge is for 15 minutes daily, but your friend only stretched 10 minutes, you will earn 10 points. Likewise, if they stretch for 30 minutes, you will earn 30 friend points.

What's a Missed Day Token?

The Missed Day Token allows users to buy back a missed day and continue their consecutive day count. A user is eligible to purchase a Missed Day Token if they had a consecutive day count of 7 days or higher, missed the next day in their count and opened WeStretch the day after to do a routine. Users will be prompted to buy back their consecutive days before they start their routine and after they complete their routine.

The Missed Day Token can also be purchased in the App settings. If a user purchases a Missed Day Token, their consecutive day count will continue but will exclude the day they missed stretching. For example, if a user had a consecutive day count of 34, missed day 35, but opened the app on day 36, they will be prompted to purchase a Missed Day Token. If the user purchases the token, their consecutive day count will continue on day 36 at a consecutive day count of 35. If the user chooses not to purchase the token, their consecutive day count will be reset to 1.

Help! I lost my stretching streak

Life happens. If you wake up and realize you missed stretching yesterday, Ada will offer a chance to buy back your streak. It's available the moment you have 7+ consecutive days, but ONLY available for the day after you missed. I.e. If you're at 27 days in a row and the next you day wake up but forget to stretch, the app will reset your streak back to 1. If you get the Missed Day Token, your tally will continue as if yesterday didn't exist, as long as you remember to stretch today (Meaning you will be at day 28, NOT day 29).

Joints marked with a grey "x" will exclude the joint from the routine. If you're experiencing pain or have an injury in your legs, simply turn off the filter for both the lower body and

How does WeStretch help with pain?

A lot of pain stems from inflammation and muscle tightness, among other things, When you stretch, you allow your blood to flow to the areas of concern, which clears out the old blood, supplies additional nutrients and oxygen to the afflicted areas, and allows the muscles to release their tension.

Our goal at WeStretch is to help you stretch every joint in every direction, covering muscles that you might have missed in your own exercise. While you might notice your pain lessened after one stretching session, the improvements will become greater the more regularly you stretch!

What are the benefits of stretching?

Here are just a few of the many benefits:

 

  • Increased flexibility and range of motion
  • Improve posture
  • Prevent injury
  • Improved joint health
  • Release tension and stress
  • Boost your energy
  • Reverse signs of aging
  • Reduce lower back pain
  • Ease hip flexor strain
  • Increase blood flow
  • Decrease tension headaches
  • Reduce pain
  • Exercise in a simple and obtainable way
  • Improve your mood

Who can use WeStretch?

WeStretch is designed for anyone trying to regain or maintain joint health, improve flexibility, or those who simply love to stretch! Providing level-appropriate, customized routines to help you feel your best, WeStretch is here for everyone, regardless of age, physical limitations, body type, or activity level. From high level athletes and stay at home moms to office workers, those with disabilities or limited physical abilities to aging grandparents. WeStretch has a routine for you.

What makes WeStretch different from other stretching apps?

Using Artificial Intelligence, WeStretch is the only app that merges the science of kinesiology with the foundations of yoga and Pilates into a daily guided health and wellness stretching routine. Stretching can be boring and repetitive. Our algorithms are designed to ensure that you are constantly stretching different muscles and joints. You may notice that you only stretch one side during a routine - that was on purpose! You will stretch the opposite side in one of your next routines, but this keeps variety in each of your stretching sessions!

WeStretch was designed with the help of a physiotherapist, so you can rest assured that every pose is safe to do and will help you feel your best!
