I can’t live without my daily flexibility routine. It does wonders for improving movement, energy, workout performance, and so much more.
I’ve barely missed a morning stretch in the last 10 years, and I can tell you from experience – when I miss it, I feel it! I’ll feel stiffer, more sore, and like I’m more injury-prone during my workouts.
Here’s an example of what my daily flexibility series might look like… (this one is actually from the Hyperbolic Stretching 28-day Challenge where you’ll build up to doing the splits):
- Standing straddle with alternating toe reach – 3x:10 per side
- Lying piriformis stretch – 3x:10 per side
- Standing forward fold “head to toe” stretch – 3x:20
- Toe flex – 3x:10 per side
- “Drop stance” hip flexor stretch – 3x:15 per side
- Seated straddle split stretch – 3x:15 per side
- Standing quad stretch – 3x:20 per side
- Lying abdominal stretch – 3x:15
