Last week, I participated in a 7 Day Stretch Challenge with FitApproach & prAna. I love these challenges. They are short, simple and get you motivated to keep moving forward!
Prior to the challenge starting, we received our assignments. Each person who joined in would have the same assignment, however the beauty of these challenges is that everyone is different and has a different idea of how they'll share their #7DayStretch. Check it out...
Monday, August 24: It’s Monday, make sure you get up and stretch ‘dem legs! Show us your favorite quad and / or hamstring stretch(es)! #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
It's Monday Monday Monday and a new 7 day challenge begins!
Favorite leg stretch is this one... I remember when I couldn't even grab my feet. It still hurts, but I hold it for as long as I can, break, then do it again. |
Bonus: We want to see you JUMP it out. Give us your BEST #jumpjoymonday! #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
| I'm jumping for joy today, are you? |
Tuesday, August 25: Backbends. Any backbends. All backbends. #benditlikebackbend Show us how you get bendy! #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
| I'm not the only one participating in this shot. |
Bonus: It’s #transformationtuesday y’all, whether you’re bendier than you used to be, more adventurous, or even faster, we want to see! #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
It’s #transformationtuesday and I just want to say what an amazing thing the human body is and what it is capable of doing. This picture to the left was my 3rd pregnancy and I was 35 weeks along. The picture on the right is a current photo of me. My kids are 8, 6 & 1. As my daughter said, "Mommy, you're wearing a belly shirt." Yes, yes I am... 3 kids later and I feel so comfortable in my own skin!
|
Wednesday, August 26: It’s our mid-week stretch it out, show us what’s getting you through your hump day? #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
What gets me through the day? My morning cup of ☕ coffee, of course!
It gives me super powers... like being able to function!
|
Bonus: It’s #workoutitwednesday. Show us how you worked it today! #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
It’s #workoutitwednesday. The camera may not have been focused, but I certainly was focused on my workout. I truly feel like a superhero when I do back/bis (and wearing a Captain America shirt does help)
|
Thursday, August 27: Show us a #tbt to a time when you stretched outside of your comfort zone. #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
A #tbt (but with a recent photo) my daughter has stretched out of her comfort zone a lot lately and now wants to workout with me. I remember wishing she was more open to the idea of fitness. I'm so glad that she wants to do what Mommy does ♡
|
Bonus: Show us your favorite stretchy pants (shorts work too) #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
My favorite stretchy shorts are these 6! Best part, they are from Walmart, very comfortable and cost me under $4 for each pair. As much as I would love to say they are some super, fancy, expensive brand, they aren't.
I can't afford things like that.
|
Friday, August 28: Happy #freefriday y’all! We want to see what makes you feel the most FREE? 7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
Beautiful #NJ weather for a morning walk!
Chilly in the shade, but perfect in the sun!
|
Bonus: Show us how you are celebrating #forearmfriday! Forearm planks, dolphin pose, forearm stands or maybe just forearms on the table? ;) #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
Let's celebrate #ForearmFriday! Forearm planks on a wooden floor aren't easy, but meh... I do it anyway, because I'm badass like that! ;) haha
|
Saturday, August 29: Saturday side stretch! Show us your fave side stretch(es!) #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
| Saturday Side Stretch |
Bonus: #sunsalutesaturday. Show us how you are saluting the sun today! #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
Sunday, August 30: What are your favorite ways to restore your mind, body, & soul? #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna
 |
One of my favorite ways to restore my mind is a bike ride.
When we first moved here, I saw this view and fell in love.
It's always so pretty... no matter the weather.
|
Bonus: Show us your favorite zen space. Where do you find peace & tranquility? #7daystretch #liveinprana #sweatpink @FitApproach @prAna #sundayzenday
Although I missed 2 bonus posts (hey, life does get in the way of instagram sometimes) I feel pretty good about my participation. I look forward to the next challenge!
