Regardless of if the individual stands and moves around all day or sits at their desk from none to five. A daily routine of stretching could assist the individual in feeling good. Sustaining a frequent routine of stretching could prevent aches and pains, warm the individual up for an intense workout. Or it could enhance the range of motion. Even if the individual is continuously pressed for time, they could pinch out a few stretches which would benefit their entire body. It would only take a couple of minutes.
For an entire routine that could be completed immediately after waking up in the morning. Or at any time during the day, the following are seven simple stretches. The list could be repeated for roughly three rounds. In the event that this list proves inadequate, it is recommended to add knee hugs and shoulder rolls to the schedule.
Windshield Wipers
Begin by lying on the back with the knees together, and bent. Keep the feet together and flat on the floor. Allows both knees to drop to one side, allowing the torso to remain steady and the shoulders kept flat on the floor. Then through the center of the body, bring the knees to the opposite side. Repeat this for ten to twenty repetitions on either side. Hold the position on one side for thirty seconds. Then hold the position on the opposite side for thirty seconds.
Book Openers
Lay on the floor on the left side. Maintain the hips and knees stacked and bent at ninety degrees. Extend the arms straight out and in front of the body, always keeping them stacked. Then open the right arm which should be at the top, taking over to the other side of the body. Take it as close to the floor as possible without the hips rotating or the left shoulder lifting. The hips and knees should still be stacked. Allow the right arm to return to the start position. Repeat this for twenty repetitions. Hold the stretch for thirty seconds on the final repetition. Repeat on the other side of the body.
