Time for my 7th challenge already! Since my first challenge I've become stronger, got more endurance and increased my self-image. However, over the past few months my muscles became shorter due to all the climbing I do, so time for a stretching challenge! Waanie's stretching challenge Main goal: Become more flexible and work on a better posture. First quest: Do yoga every morning Just 10 minutes is enough, as long as I do something every morning. These will be my main stretching workouts. I started doing yoga every morning this week, and I feel like it is doable. However, we'll see what happens if I have to work early in the morning next week again. Second quest: Do posture exercises twice a week I want to do these exercises twice a week. The second half is glute- and core strength, and the second half is shoulder stretches. I won't have a foam roller available during the second half of this challenge, so I have to think of adequate exercises that replace the foam rolling. Third quest: Walk at least every hour when not asleep Sitting still for a long time is horrible for almost all muscles. So both at home and at work, I should make sure to keep moving. Getting a cup of tea, going to the toilet, writing on the white board are all viable options for this goal. I'm not sure yet which tool is most useful for this. I have currently installed workrave on my working computer, but I don't like it very much since I also do a lot of work on paper. Suggestions are welcome . The only exception I'll make are meetings for my work that take more than an hour. And that's it for now . I'll keep track of my progress in this first post. Week 1: Q1 7/7 Q2 2/2 Q3 7/7
