[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 1470550, member: 11315"] Our center is the guinea pig for a new stretching format for UPS driver's PCMs starting soon. Apparently, UPS has paid for patented "Dynamic Stretching" exercises from a sports wellness company/person and in the middle of peak, had our whole center come in early 2 days in a row for a presentation and demonstration. Corporate safety honchos flew in and are gung-ho on implementing this into the UPS culture. Bulletpoints: * We were presented with info on how our normal stretching exercises aren't good enough * We were told it was more important to create a higher heart rate for better blood flow to carry oxygen through our body * We were told that we need to warm up the ligaments and joints in slow stretches to get them ready for work * We were shown 19 new stretching exercises that will be implemented into our daily PCM routine to improve flexibility and balance. * After each presentation, the drivers were cornered by higher ups for impromptu "What did you think?" and "Which exercise did you like the most?" * Our DM mentioned something about coming in early for stretching while a video of the exercises are played Usually we do the same 2 or 3 stretches during PCM so this will probably be more beneficial but not sure if they want us to come in early to do this or have us memorize the exercises and do them home. The presentation was well done and the owner of this company was a good public speaker and knowledgable. Just wanted to give you all a heads-up when you hear about it coming to your center. [/QUOTE]
