Follow Your Plan

Whether you’ve sought out professional help to put together a daily stretching routine or crafted your own; it’s vital that you stick to the plan. Studies show that creating a new habit can take anywhere from two to eight months! That means until it becomes second nature, your daily stretching routine might not always be what you want to do. Inertia has a way of making it hard to get going, ya know?

There are lots of ways to help support your new morning/evening stretching. First and foremost, make a schedule and put it somewhere you’ll have to see it every day. This visual element will go a long way in reaffirming your flexibility goals. It’s easier to get into a stretching routine when you plan your morning and day around it. Not to say you might not need extra help. Having someone to push you, either a friend or personal trainer could be just what you need to get over the hump. Trust me, you’ll feel better when you do.
