Stretch & Release Workout

Stretch and Release is a DAREBEE home workout you can apply to help you improve your body's suppleness, range of motion and flexibility without draining your battery.

This Stretch & Release Workout is designed to gently ease tension, improve flexibility, and enhance mobility in your upper and lower back, shoulders, and hamstrings. Each movement follows a simple yet effective flow: hold the stretch while counting to five, then release and repeat three times to deepen the stretch gradually.

By incorporating controlled holds and mindful breathing, this routine helps relieve stiffness, improve posture, and promote relaxation, making it perfect as a post-workout cooldown, a morning mobility session, or a tension-relieving break anytime you need it.

Take your time, listen to your body, and enjoy the restorative power of stretching!

I appreciate the flexibility of levels and types of workouts and the amazing amount of content being offered for free. The amount and variety of content is overwhelming to start but the filters really help narrow everything down. And if I still can't make a decision, the monthly challenges and daily movements are a great start. One of my favorite features is the video exercise library. When I'm not sure how to do a movement or exercise correctly, it's easy to find and watch a quick tutorial. (The dashboard and ability to create sorted bookmarks of favorite workouts are also very helpful)

My family never encouraged me to exercise growing up, so it is outside my comfort zone. Then I joined the Navy and got in great shape. But that was years ago.

I have always wanted to find a place that would meet me at my level wherever I am, encourage me to stay motivated, fit in my busy schedule, not require a gym membership, offer variety, be fun, help me feel like part of a team without leaving my house, and still be affordable. That has been my dream. So Darebee.com makes my dream a reality. It does all that and more. I would highly, highly recommend this site to absolutely anyone.

Yes, the workouts are awesome and I like them very much. They are easy to understand and don't require much knowledge so you can simply start working out.

BUT what I think is at least as great is the design and functionality of the website. It is just so clean and well organized. I love the filter functions, they work very well and you can find exactly what you need in seconds. Also the bookmark feature is just awesome! The way you can organize the bookmarks, create different collections and sort them so efficiently is very thoughtful and way better than I have seen it on many bigger platforms. I think it is just an example where one can see that the Darebee team not only strives to create the best workouts but for excellence on every level. Tank you! You are doing an awesome job!
