Description

This course, Pre-Work Stretching, is designed to help general industry workers improve flexibility, reduce injury risk, and feel better throughout the workday. Whether your job involves physical labor, repetitive motion, or long periods of sitting or standing, stretching can make a significant difference in your performance and well-being. This training teaches a full-body stretching routine that can be done at work without the need for any special equipment or prior experience.

Through clear instruction and practical demonstrations, you’ll learn how to safely perform stretches for the neck, shoulders, back, wrists, hamstrings, quadriceps, and more. Each stretch is carefully explained with tips on breathing, posture, and proper duration. The course is organized into four sections: an introduction and neck/lower back stretches; stretches for hamstrings, wrists, chest, and quads; back and core flexibility movements; and a cooldown segment to wrap up the routine.

This course focuses on proper technique, breathing, and regularity—not intensity. The goal is to give you simple, effective tools to help you feel more mobile, comfortable, and ready for your day. Whether you are new to stretching or looking to reinforce good habits, this course provides a practical foundation for daily use in any work environment, promoting long-term physical health and resilience.

  • General industry workers involved in physical labor or repetitive tasks
  • Employees who stand or sit for long periods during their shifts
