“I Stretched Every Day For 30 Days: Game Changer!”

How much can an unflexible person really improve in just 20 minutes per day for a month? Makari Espe finds out:

Consistency really is key

We’re supposed to stretch at least 3 times per week; for many people, the reality is often more like 2 times per year (often the 1st and 2nd of January).

So, how quickly can such neglect be turned around?

Upon initial testing, she found she was even less flexible than thought, and set about her work:

The stretches she used were from random 20-minute full body stretch videos on YouTube, of which there are many, but she used a different one each day. As she went along, she found some favorite kinds of stretching and some favorite instructors, and settled on mostly Peloton stretching videos—she also switched to evening stretching sessions instead of morning.

Along the way, she already noticed gradual improvement in mobility and reduced body tension, and after 3 weeks, it had become a habit that she started craving.

The final test? There’s a marked improvement; see the video:
