Your day starts every morning in your bed. Why not get the right start every morning?
Get the body moving and stretch and breathe BEFORE getting out of bed.
Check out this awesome video by BOB and BRAD, physical therapists on YouTube: (This should take about 3.5 minutes once you start doing this as part of your morning routine.)
- Breathe deeply using your diaphragm
- Arms Up, Lengthen Legs- elongate your body and stretch
- Knee to chest, hamstring stretch
- Figure 4 stretch and leg pull up- stretches your piriformis muscle
- Hip rotations (windshield wipers)
- Chest Opener and breathe at the same time
- Ankle Pumps
- Hallelujah Stretch (go left/right) - another great overall body stretch
