THE CORE3

Use this checklist as a challenge to practice mindful habits daily.

A calm mind, limber muscles, and a hydrated body will help propel you through your athletic training.

  1. BREATHE | Meditate or Concentrated Breathing for 5+ Minutes

  2. STRETCH | For 5+ minutes

  3. HYDRATE | Drink at least 1 Liter of water (in addition to hydration during exercise)

Rest allows your body to recover, strengthen, and refocus — improving long-term performance.

Stretches to add into your daily routine.

  • Downward Dog

  • Runner’s (Crescent) Lunge

  • Pigeon or Figure Four

  • Seated Forward Fold

  • Shoulder Mobility

DOWNWARD DOG || Bend your knees as needed to keep your back as flat as you can. Reach the heels toward the ground and shift your weight out of your hands and into your heels. “Listen to the biceps” and keep your ears in between your arms — gaze to the thighs. You should feel a stretch through the backs of the legs. You can pedal out the ankles to shift the weight from leg to leg.

CRESCENT (RUNNER’S) LUNGE || Find a low lunge position. Make sure the forward knee does not pass the toes - keep it over the center of the foot. Press the hips forward and feel the stretch down the hip flexor and quad. Option to reach the arms over head and press the chest forward to extend the upper back, opening the chest.
