Listen Later

Ever wondered the real power behind stretching? Wonder no more! In this eye-opening episode of the Modern Body Podcast, Aly untangles the complexities of stretching, diving into the why's, how's, and when's that redefine your fitness routine.

"Should I Be Stretching?" isn't just a question; it's an invitation to explore the transformative power of stretching, debunk myths, and integrate this crucial practice into your daily life for lasting benefits. Whether it's the relief you seek from a day's work or enhancing your workout routine, Aly's insights are here to guide you through.

"Stretching isn't just about temporary relief; it's about creating lasting changes in our body. And, trust me, a little goes a long way when it's done well." - Aly DiRoma

Highlights from the Episode:

  • The Stretching Paradox: Aly shares her wisdom on how stretching can sometimes create more tension than relief, likening over-stretched muscles to a too-stretched slinky. It's a compelling argument for mindful stretching.
  • Dynamic vs. Static Stretching: Discover the nuances between dynamic stretching, ideal for warming up and promoting blood flow, and static stretching, which can be more beneficial post-workout to help muscles recover and grow stronger.
  • The PNF Stretching Technique: Get a crash course in Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF), a sophisticated approach that engages your nervous system to safely extend muscles and improve flexibility.


Aly doesn't just preach; she shares personal stories and professional experiences, making the science of stretching accessible and relatable.

Remember, stretching is not just an act; it's a science, an art, and a pathway to a more mobile, resilient life. Tune in, stretch out, and step into a life of movement and well-being with the Modern Body Podcast.
