You cannot switch stress off completely, but you can give your body regular signals that it is safe to relax.

If you feel worked up, struggle to switch off or wake up already tense, you may have heard people say their nervous system is “overactive”. It is not a medical diagnosis, but it describes something real. Many of us spend far more time in stress mode than our bodies were built for.

Here is what your nervous system is doing, the signs that it is stuck on, simple things that help, and where assisted stretching will calm your nervous system and release tension from your body in just 50mins.

Most sports load one or two movement patterns. Hyrox loads almost all of them, back to back, with running in between. To be the best you can be in the race, you need to work on training your nervous system to work with your muscular system for agility, flexibility and overall fitness performance. That's where PNF assisted stretching comes into play.
