Thirty Day Stretching Challenge with WeStretch

Many people know they should stretch, but they struggle with getting started. The first step to building a stretching habit is to make it as easy and fun as possible in the beginning. To help you on your stretching journey, we have created a thirty day stretching challenge for you!

 

Your thirty day challenge starts off with just doing a 3 minute stretch- and it will be too easy! The point is not to strain your body from day one, but rather to build up your strength, mobility, and range of motion.

 

Every day will add a minute and will guide you through several of WeStretch’s various routine styles. This challenge is designed to help you earn several stretching badges, but be sure to check the full list of possible badges. You might just be able to earn a few bonus ones along the way!

 

Be sure to keep in mind that you can customize your routines as needed for what works best for you! If breaking down your routine length works best for you, excluding a certain joint, or even picking a different style of routine is better for you, then do it! The important part is just getting in the habit of daily stretching. (We suggest stretching at the same time every day!)

 

Here is a printable PDF version of our Thirty Day Stretching Challenge Printable, so you can keep track of your progress. Stick it to your fridge or leave it on your bedroom dresser to help you remember!
