Two-Week Stretch Challenge

A stretch challenge that helps to vary your stretching routine. Don’t worry if you can’t do some of them (especially oversplits–which should not be attempted until your extremely flexible).  While some of them are shorter (10-15 minutes), try to fit in 30 minutes of stretching a day, either at once, or in shorter segments (1o or 15 minutes) throughout the day. A good way to do this would to incorporate some of the split stretches from Day 1 or 6 into your daily routine.

Note: This is kind of a a work-in-progress, and I’m hoping eventually to expand it into a 30 day challenge, testing them out as I go. If you try any of them, let me know which ones you liked and which ones you didn’t.
