Renca is wearing an NSYNC shirt with black leggings. She’s standing in front of a hostel bunk bed.
Tip 1 is the watch stretch! You know when you’re at a beach or swimming somewhere, you have to put your things and quickly go swimming. But wait, who will watch your stuff ? No one. So you have to keep looking back to make sure your stuff is still there. You wouldn’t want to pull a back muscle while doing it! So you should stretch your back. What you need to do is to pivot and snap. Do that 5 times each side then you are ready! Walk walk, watch!
Tip 2 is the pretzel stretch! You know as you get ready to go swimming, you need to apply sunscreen. Oh wait, there’s no one else around you to help you apply sunscreen on your back. You can try do it yourself but it’s hard. So you should stretch! That way, you can pretzel-ize yourself! Do this five times- pretzel and twist! Pretzel and twist! Then you’ll be ready to apply sunscreen on your back yourself.
Tip 3 is the storage stretch. When you’re touring around and you spot something that you wanna chat about but realize you have no one next to you to have that conversation. So you have to hold on to it. But wait - holding it and suppressing it- no no! Capture. Hold. Store. There! When you meet another Deaf person- PAH! Then you can stream all the information! That’s the storage! Now here’s what you need to do- GRAB! PULL! BENCH PRESS! DUMBBELL! GRAB! PULL! BENCH PRESS! DUMBBELL! Do it 5 times and you’ll be ready!
Tip 4 is power of one stretch. The FINGER is important. Why? When you enter a restaurant, they ask you “HOW MANY?” You respond “ONE.” Then they say “no wait, how many, you mean just one?” You respond- “yes, just ONE.” So that’s why it’s important to stretch your finger. You don’t want to have a finger cramp or struggle to get your finger up for saying “one.” Do it 5 times- picture snap, picture snap, - be ready to stretch BOTH fingers!
Setting has changed, renca is in the bathroom with two backpacks- one in front and one in back
Tip 5 is the toilet squat stretch. It’s a requirement! You know when you go to a bus station or train station or airport, and you have to go to the bathroom, you can’t ask someone to watch your bags. TRUST NO ONE. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN. You need to practice on your quads. Keep your bags ON! Bathroom floor is always dirty. Think I will set my bags down? NO. So practice this stretch! Five times! You don’t want to have a leg cramp and you end up hosing all over the toilet leaving a mess. You want to make sure you hit right in the toilet bowl. Do it five times. You’ll be grand and strong! Then you’ll be able to go to the bathroom and squat like this - basketball style! With your bags! Get the toilet paper- do your business. All done! Let’s go! Ready?!
