This a more advanced flexibility and mobility video for students who are growing so fast. Students who undergo
growth spurts may notice muscle tightness when trying to move. Some of these exercises may need to be adjusted to be safe
and fit your needs. Please do with an adult in your home before you try by yourself. Remember nothing has to be perfect
any stretching is good for you.
