Hi everyone, we hope you are ready for this article because we are so excited to share it with you! Today we want to introduce you to a new section of the blog, a subsection of the "Twin life" category: "CHALLENGE", where we're going to write about the many challenges we want to try and give you the details about them all. 

Today it's day one of a "30 days" challenge we really can't wait to try. We've always given priority to our workouts, mostly avoided any form of stretching. But we've finally decided it's time for a change! We really want to start paying attention to our flexibility, and in the next 30 days we're going to test ourselves and see how much we can develop and increase our range of motion.

We can't tell you now which exercises will be part of our stretch routine, because there's not a specific program we follow. But we'll try different kinds of exercises and see which work better for us, then you'll have all the details in a new article next month.

 As we've said, we've never payed much attention to our flexibility but stretching is very very important for your muscles, and it can be really helpful for your workouts too: the bendier you are, the better you can do your workouts, with less risk of injury. In fact, when you don't include stretching in your activity routine, your muscles shorten and become tight, weak and unable to extend all the way. As a consequence, the chances of getting injured become higher!

Even just 10 minutes a day on flexibility practice can make a big difference. We'll try to practice at least 20 minutes a day, every day, during this month and hope we'll have some visible results! We can't wait to feel much looser and more open!

If you want to start this challenge with us we'll be very happy, but if you want to have more suggestions you can wait 30 days for all the details we're going to tell you about our own flexibility journey! Anyways, before you start, remember that some people are more flexible than others so don't be discouraged if it takes you a little longer to get improvements. Each exercise should be done slowly and you should never stretch to the point of pain. Warm up  before you start your stretch session and don't take days off: flexibility increases the more you use it!

Can't wait to show you guys our results in 30 days! And to start as many challenges as possible! We believe it's important to always find new ways to challenge yourself in order to become the best version of you! Much love,

Vanilla & Julia
