THE BODY ELASTIC. 28 Sep 2008
Stretching is so very important. It makes us stronger, work faster, relieves nasty metabolic waste from the muscles and prevents injuries and muscle imbalances. I hear a lot of you poo-poo'ing Rare Form because "it's not a workout", but lemme tell you that you will walk away sweaty AND sore!
We must balance strength and stretch to truly get lithe. We can't challenge you and change things up if you're overworking those legs... Take a mid-week break and stretch it out on hump day. It's on the schedule for a reason.
I second that, Lauren. Sweat and “good” pain are typical for me during Rare Form – it is such a challenging class in a completely different way than the other classes. And even if you don’t leave class being as flexible as (Elastic) Elizabeth, you learn stretches that you can do at home while watching Sunday Night Football or reading the new issue of Vogue. So sign up!!!
