Stretch Break with CCR Fitness Instructor Chelsea Coghill!

Getting your body moving and lengthened after sitting at your home office.

Aim to get up to move every 30-45 minutes. This can be a short session by holding each stretch for at least 15 seconds OR extend it a bit to 45 seconds per stretch. An interval timer can be useful (45 second stretch vs. 15-second transition) or hold each stretch for 3-6 deep breaths. Settle into each stretch to feel moderate tension in the muscle without pain in any joints.
