Cool down stretches in Premium

[zedster]

Would be great if we had cool down stretches as part of the exercise programs already in the Blaze. Cool down stretching is very important and I noticed that no-one ever remembers to carry out these stretches after a good workout.

Hi @zedster! Nice suggestion, thanks for sharing. We look forward to hearing what other community members think.

[Banana1126]

Yes! I’d love to see stretching sequences in the bodyweight workouts in Fitbit coach. 

[Clokay1]

I would love to have a stretching section on fitbit charge 2.  I stretch after every workout and love to be able to log it.

[Clokay1]

I did a weight lifting session for a hr today and for some reason it did not log my workout.  I was moving quickly from machine to machine too so my heart rate was up.  Can i add the workout to my weekly workouts?

[Sammmiey]

Cool downs are absolutely necessary, would love to see this integrated into Fitbit

[Vanika33]

I would love to see the 5 min (optional) stretch at the end of any workout session that is more than 10 min.

I feel like my muscles are screaming for it

[andrey_k]

Great idea!

[Crayolakitty]

Shocked this wasn't MVP because of how important stretching is. I think we need some stretches after the program workouts 😄

[Davekid101]

Would love the warm up and additional cool down be optional but integrated into every activity plan selected, while session guided from start to finish for us 🙂

[Keithmce]

Agree with this.  Just came on to make the same suggestion. Pretty new to all this and suffer with tight calves and knees.  Think the workouts should all finish with stretch session. It’s best practice after all and we may as well be doing them right with the same quality instruction we get on the exercises.

I'd love to see this as a separate Coaching session in addition to cool down option.  I sit in a chair all day and would use a 5-10 minute stretch coaching session when I get my "reminder to move" each hour.

[laurayoung1212]

I’d also love to see a separate coaching session on stretching. A warmup/cooldown would be nice, but 5 minutes isn’t enough. Raise your hand if your hips are screaming.

Here too!!!

I think a warm up/warm down session would be an awesome addition for the versa.

[Samantha_J]

Agreed! Stretching session is really needed. I think 10 mins would be ideal, with levels - basic stretches up to more complex yoga poses 

[SCULLYBLUEYES]

I 100% agree with the idea. I am a nightmare for forgetting to stretch after exercise and a reminder plus some tips at the end of a workout would be great 

[StrattonM]

I was actually just looking for someone stretches to add to my workout regiments, this would be a great idea and move forward! 

[AlleyA]

This is a great idea! I would also love to see seperate stretching workouts aimed to improve flexibility.

[Amhegedus]

I would also love a cool down/stretching option for Fitbit Coach... several warm-up options but no cool down option. Thanks!

[Rarebird]

I like the two warmup options on fitbit coach but I'd love to have a cool down session or two available!

[velveteer]

I would really appreciate to have cool down stretches, too! Also something like this from your blog: https://blog.fitbit.com/daily-stretching-sequence/

[Otaylor7]

I don't currently pay for Fitbit coach but would definitely consider it if it had some stretching workouts.

Stuff like:

10min - Full body Stretching

5min - After Running Stretch

5min - Upper Body Stretch

10min - Daily Morning Stretch

Should be very easy to make.

I own the Fitbit Versa

Thanks

Hi @Otaylor7, thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us,this feature suggestion already exists so I’ve moved your post here.

[Stretching]

The Aaptiv app has guided stretching and weight based strength exercises.  It would be nice to have them in Fitbit Coach as I prefer that app to Aaptiv. Are there any plans to add them?

[YojanaFitbit]
