Would be great to have a strava activity that is stretching. I don't want to list as Yoga, just stretching. Yoga is also a religious based system which I don't share in.
Considering enhancing the Strava platform, it may be beneficial to include stretching as an activity option. This addition may offer a broader range of benefits to the platform users.
I second this suggestion. While yoga does stretch out muscles, it's not really the same as regular stretching and most regular stretches aren't yoga poses nor does regular stretching have a flow to it. It would be nice to have a stretching activity to pick from instead of using yoga or generic activity labels.
Hi there Tigha, quick searches definitly shows it is (although not that old). And not that I take Wiki as the authority for many things it (and many other sources) lists "spiritual practises" in the first sentence, also mentions the connection to its Hindu Origins. Its definitly not "just stretching" to many people that practise it. And if it is just stretching as you say then simply change the name to "Stretching" and remove the ambiguity - I would guess there will be a very big quantity of people that would quickly raise a problem with that name change, happy to be proven wrong if it does get a name change and there are zero questions raised.
Currently I add my stretching as Weight Training. I would love to see this added to the platform. Also want to second the opinion that stretching and yoga are two distinct activities.
I also agree with the idea of having a distinct type of activity. Besides, when I select "Stretching" on my Suunto watch, the activity created in Strava is "Training" which is far too generic.
Did you get a reply on this one from the Strava crew? Using Strava as my training diary and it would really be nice to really track my stretching specifically and probably really motivate me to do more of the much needed rehab/prehab.
Hello and thank you to everyone who has taken the time to add your votes and comments to this request.
We want to let you know that we do not intend to add more activity/sport types to Strava in the foreseeable future, and this feature suggestion will be moved to a status of not currently planned.
We appreciate and understand this is not the answer you were hoping for. We strive to be as transparent as possible and provide updates to our Community when they become available.
Please remember that we receive a large number of idea submissions, and even some popular ideas may not make it to the implementation stage. The number of votes an idea gets is one factor among several that’s considered when our product team develops the roadmap.
Additionally, a status of not currently planned does not mean this feature suggestion goes away. It will remain open to votes and comments, and may be revisited at some point in the future.
Lastly, we sincerely hope you will continue recording and uploading your activities to Strava. Here is a list of the Sport types that we currently support. It’s always an option to set your activity to sport type “workout” and indicate more specifics in the activity name.
Hi, did this get reviewed by Strava? I would really love active stretching to be added. Having not done enough stretching pre and post run in the past and getting injuries, I now try and do a lot more but it would be great to be able to track it.
