OK people you have done a great job all week and I bet some of you can really feel it.

Today's "challenge" is to do stretches and try to get rid of all that built up tension from so many challenges :)

Doing stretches helps to relieve tension both mentally and physically, improves flexibility and just plain makes you feel good!

Some of you may want to try some Yoga, I hear it's relaxing as well.

Report back when you are done and let us know what you did so we can some great ideas for stretching.

Thanks to Crystal for the following info.
I found some stretches at http://www.sportsinjuryclinic.net/cybertherapist/stretching/allstretches.php

    The only pain I'm still feeling is under the arm pits. Must be from all those push-ups followed by a yoga class the next day when she said, "we are going to work the triceps!". Boy I wanted to walk out I hurt so bad already. But I pushed through.

    Will do an easier yoga routine today for some general stretching. Sounds nice .

    All done!

    Done. I ended up doing Pilates for beginners. It is really good stretching! Great idea for today.

    Ok... so I did my stretches. I know it was supposed to be relaxing... but I incorporated it into stretching further while working in the garden, stretching out while working in the yard and stretching higher, further and longer while scrubbing my house inside and out. If that doesn't count... I'm getting ready to go and stretch out and take a nap. :)

    Thanks for the easier challenge today Charger... this was a good one.
