Muscular performance and injury prevention
among critical benefits;
Life Time Dynamic Stretch
delivers assisted stretching that cannot be duplicated on your
own
CHANHASSEN, Minn., Dec. 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Life Time (NYSE: LTH), the
nation's premier healthy lifestyle brand with more than 170
athletic country clubs across North
America, is reinforcing the mental and physical health
benefits of something often overlooked: Stretching. Monday, December 11 is National Stretching
Day and Life Time is taking this opportunity to remind that it
often is among the most overlooked component in a workout or
fitness plan, yet it plays an important role in:
- Better posture – Increasing flexibility can improve
posture and aid in reducing joint pain.
- Injury prevention – Stretching helps with range of
motion.
- Reduced stress – Stress causes muscles to be tense.
- Better muscular performance - The greater range of
motion you possess, the more muscles develop and grow.
With the launch of Dynamic Stretch, Life Time members have begun
to realize the substantial benefits of stretching for
enhanced recovery with hands-on, 25 or 50-minute
assisted-stretching programs. Featuring Life Time's certified
specialists who use the latest techniques to help people maintain
optimal performance, clients benefit from:
- Movement screening
- Active and passive stretches
- A full range of motion work
- Breathing exercises
- Recovery tools
"Stretching your muscles regularly is very important, especially
if you find yourself saying, 'I don't move as well as I used to,'
or if you experience aches, pains, soreness, or stiffness" said
Danny King, Master Trainer and
Manager of Performance and Recovery for Life Time. "I always stress
to my clients, 'would you rather spend an extra 5-10 minutes
stretching your muscles after a workout, or deal with potential
soreness afterwards for 48-72 hours?'"
"Our Dynamic Stretch programming is not only about flexibility,
but also mobility, stability and proactivity," said Life Time St.
Louis Park Stretch Specialist John
Oliver. "Whether you're a beginner fitness enthusiast, or a
competitive athlete, stretching enables you to increase your
mobility and agility."
Dynamic Stretch adds to the growing array of recovery and
relaxation services offered by Life Time, including pools,
whirlpools, cedarwood saunas, eucalyptus-scented steam rooms,
Normatec recovery tools, hydro- and cryo massage chairs and
Hypervolt portable percussion massagers.
