DAY 16

Pancake Challenge

Coach Note: Once frequency has been dialed in (See Day 13), we can use variety and stronger stimuli to force the central nervous system to adapt even quicker (See Day 9). Stretching the same muscles in slightly different ways conveys to the central nervous system that we need to adapt to more than just one position, leading to an improvement in all lengthened positions (transferability).

Jugglers start with tissues, then gradually introduce the tennis ball. The two items together make you a stronger juggler – and we’re using the same principles here. In order to continue to force the central nervous system to adapt, you can continue to modify your stretching slightly. The use of static stretching, dynamic stretching, loaded stretching, and muscle contractions in stretched positions are all varieties that can be very useful in improving your flexibility.

 

The pancake challenge uses static stretching, dynamic stretching, loaded stretching, and different types of muscle contractions to try see greater improvements in your flexibility.

Short on Time:
3 Way Pancake Stretch x 1 min L, 1 min R, 1 min Center
Pancake Hinge (Elevated if needed) x 10-20
