What is Flexercize?

Flexercize is a unique stretching and gentle strengthening program, developed by Dora Baroti, of Studio Viva! The program includes elements of isolation technique and various stretching exercizes for each muscle group. The movements exercize the joints without causing strain or pain, benefitting the spine, the muscles of the torso, as well as the shoulder, the neck, the hips and the legs. Flexercize helps strengthen and stretch your muscles, keep your spine better aligned and help keep your joints mobile. Even if you have previous injuries, you can learn these techniques to help avoid recurrent ones.

After teaching Flexercize in Chicago, Dora was inspired to bring the program and its benefits to those who tend not to have time to exercise and are more likely to suffer from back ache, numbness in the arms and legs... In short, most of us in corporate jobs that involve a lot of sitting and typing.

Flexercize Programs

Like all stretching, Flexercize offers the most benefit as an ongoing program. Students who take Flexercize classes once
a week for 4 weeks reported notably increased flexibility and improved balance — a result of better posture. Learning how to identify and properly stengthen and lengthen your muscles with Flexercize is the first step. Then you practice this technique while learning more exercises. By enhancing your strength, you'll be on your way to greater fitness.
As pain decreases, you can prevent its recurrence. Flexercize increases your flexibility, strengthens your back and abdominal muscles, and improves your posture.

Today’s work environments cause most of us to sit for hours by desks every day, which causes significant changes in the alignment of the spinal column. Add to that the amount of time we spend sitting in cars. Even if you do weight training, your spine may not be getting any relief.
