Workouts aren’t one-size fits all. From HIIT to pilates… from walking to strength training… whatever exercise is your go-to, stretching is an essential part of any routine.

Here’s why…

We all have some degree of mobility restrictions and imbalances. The problem is that not only do we sit too much, causing a banana-shaped posture, but we also don’t put our bodies into enough different positions that give TLC to a variety of muscle groups.

The solution? Stretching.

Today’s gentle stretch has an 8-minute section that’s done in a chair, and can be done before bedtime to alleviate menopausal symptoms and prepare your body and mind for deep sleep.

Of course, stretching can relieve sore and stiff muscles, but it also improves your muscle function, reduces your risk of injury, and helps your body move in day-to-day life.

Incorporating stretching into your daily routine helps you gradually experience the maximum benefits that come from stretching, including…

• Opening and releasing tension in the upper back for better body alignment and posture
• Elongating hamstrings and releasing hip flexors to reduce tightness in the lower back
• Maintaining pliable and flexible muscles to keep you more active and pain-free during daily activities, sports, and walks
• Releasing tension throughout the body for a better night’s sleep
• Pairing breath with movement to relax your mind and achieve an overall sense of calm

Let’s get stretching!
