Your comfort Zone is just that comfortable.
Everything youre familiar with is within your
comfort zone such as taking your shower, getting
to work or any other daily activity.

• Comfort Zone

Your stretch Zone is the place where you dare to
try new things - the things that you do but are
not comfortable with - things youre either
awkward with or are somewhat apprehensive of.

• Stretch Zone

Your Panic Zone is the place where you do not
want to go. The things you believe you could not
possibly do. Moving into this area simply causes
severe fear and can put you off stretching for
long periods.
