STRETCH IT OUT!

Let’s work on your flexibility!

Good Morning!

Start your day setting aside ten minutes for some soft stretching. Start by standing up straight and reaching your arms above your head.
Slowly bend down and touch your toes, holding for 10 seconds.
Slowly roll your shoulders forward and backward for 10 reps.
Sitting down, extend one leg out in front of you and stretch forward, holding for 10 seconds.
Switch legs and repeat the previous step.
Finish by standing up straight and taking a deep breath.

Good Evening!

Set aside ten minutes in the morning and ten minutes before bed to complete the level one stretching routine.
Make sure to add in some arm circles, by lifting your arms out at your sides and rolling them forward in big circles for ten reps. Then go backward for ten reps.

Let’s Go Deeper!

Complete the two previous levels! Then add some deeper stretches to your two routines.
Try some lunges. Step your right foot forward into a lunge position, with your knee directly above your ankle. Lower your left knee to the ground and sink your hips forward, feeling a stretch in your hip and quads. Hold for 30 seconds. Repeat on the other leg.
To start your morning session and end your evening stretch session, try the butterfly. Lie on your back and bring the soles of your feet together, allowing your knees to fall open to the sides. Rest your arms by your sides with your palms facing up. Hold for 1 minute.
To further enhance your routine, try this 10-minute yoga flow.
