Coaching Advice
Target time: Complete all segments within 10:00
How to pace: Take your time to focus on your breathing and muscle relaxation; this is not a race.
How to be competitive: Stay mindful of how your body feels and try to push the stretches a little further than usual to enhance flexibility and engagement.
What you should feel: You should feel a sense of relaxation and relief, with a gradual reduction in muscle tension. Afterward, expect to feel rejuvenated and calm.
Coach Note
Today's session is focused on recovery and mobility to promote muscle relaxation and improve flexibility, essential for the core strength block. Emphasizing mobility and recovery will aid in muscle repair and prepare you for upcoming training cycles.
