Join Coach Mike Janetta, with the City of Charlotte Wellness Works program, as he takes employees through a simple 10 minute stretching exercise to help prevent injuries on the job.
A
Hello,
I'm
coach,
Mike
Ginetta
today
we're
gonna
focus
on
stretching
the
help
of
her
injuries
on
the
job,
especially
out
in
the
field.
This
is
an
easy
full
body
stretching
and
one
routine
that
it's
less
than
10
minutes
we'll
be
stretching
the
upper
body
there
doing
some
mild
calisthenics
before
the
transition
is
stretching
the
lower
bodies.
I've
got
to
city
employees
with
me
today.
You
probably
may
already
know
what
this
is.
Eddie
ran
and
this
is
Linda
Stokes
and
they
have
worked
at
landscape
management.
You
guys
ready
to
get
started
all
right.
A
Let's
get
to
it,
we're
gonna
start.
The
upper
body
then
reach
your
arms
out
open
your
chest.
This
is
important
because
I
chest
gets
over
tight,
so
everything
we
do
in
life
is
in
front
of
the
solar
chest
as
overworked
and
hold
this
for
about
a
10
count.
I'm
gonna
turn
over
we're
going
to
push
back
pulling
into
our
shoulders.
A
A
A
A
And
dynamically,
let's
reach
up:
let's
Circle
up
and
circle
down,
elbows
are
staying
in
the
same
exact
place.
You're
rotating
your
shoulder
blades.
This
is
gonna
work,
a
muscle
in
the
middle
of
your
back,
and
it's
really
gonna
help
believe
if
you
have
any
pain
in
your
upper
traps,
that's
gonna
help
relieve
that
by
strengthening
the
muscles
of
your
middle
traps,.
A
A
Now
next
exercise
we're
going
to
squats.
Now,
if
your
knees
are
like
good
and
healthy
I'm,
gonna
do
I,
have,
let's
do
a
half
squat
now
you're
gonna
push
off
your
heels
knees,
never
go
over
your
toes
and
if
you're
feeling
froggy,
you
can
go
into
a
full
squat
all
right
now,
let's
take
it.
Let's
lengthen
our
spine
put
your
hands
on
your
knees,
and
you
want
to
take
your
length
and
you'll
reach
through
your
head
link
them
all
the
way
out
through
your
body.
A
A
A
A
You
really
want
to
sink
into
these
stretches,
don't
force
the
stretch,
but
you
want
to
pull
just
a
little
bit
just
give
it
a
little
nudge
to
really
strengthen
stretch.
It
lengthen
that
muscle
thanks
Center
we're
gonna
tell
you
I'll
turn
to
our
left.
You're
gonna
bend
your
left
knee
you're
gonna
drop
on
the
inside
of
that
leg,
drop
your
shoulders
and
not
your
head.
So
just
drop
your
shoulders.
