A Stretching Routine for People That Hate Stretching: Part 2

Do you sit behind a desk or at a computer all day? Do you stand in the same spot or do the same repetitive task day in and day out? If so, then chances are you are experiencing some form of neck, back, shoulder etc. pain. With more and more jobs today becoming less physical and the fact that people are typically moving less overall it isn’t any wonder why people’s flexibility and mobility are going to hell. If you feel stiff, tight, suffer from muscle aches and pains or find it harder to simply do everyday activities then the following program may help bring you some relief. 

As the old saying goes “if you don’t use it, you loose it”. Just like if you stop exercising your muscle’s will atrophy (shrink) the same goes for flexibility and mobility. If you don’t regularly work on being mobile and putting muscles through their proper range of motion you will become less and less flexible and begin to lose optimal mobility. 

I can hear everyone now. “I don’t have time to stretch.” “I hate stretching.” I get it. I am busy just like everyone else and  yes, I do not enjoy stretching. That is why I try to find and/or create simple, realistic solutions to everyday problems.

The following stretching routine takes about 10 minutes once you get it down. Follow along with the video the first few times to learn the routine. It is simple to do and will leave you feeling better than when you started and definitely much looser. If you are consistent, over time you will begin to improve both your flexibility and mobility.

This program is great to do as part of your cool down after you exercise. It is also great to add to your morning or evening routine. It works great immediately after a nice warm shower or bath.

Give this program a try for a few weeks and let me know how it works for you? 

Yours in health.
